The US State Department announced billions of dollars of new military aid as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken made an unannounced visit to the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv on Thursday.
In a statement, Blinken announced $2.8 billion in additional assistance to Ukraine and neighboring countries. He reiterated Washington’s commitment to supporting Kyiv “for as long as it takes.”
The commitment was revealed shortly after US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin separately pledged long-term military support for Ukraine worth up to $675 million.
These announcements will bring the total U.S. military assistance for Ukraine to approximately $15.2 billion since the beginning of this Administration, the State Department said in a statement.
