“It’s a good day for world peace. I just signed the law on the national security package. It’s going to make America safer, it’s going to make the world safer. It will help our partners defend their sovereign soil," the US President said. He added that the United States will begin transferring weapons to Ukraine in the near future.
The Ukrainian Defense Forces will receive a new $1 billion military aid package, which will include:
- ammunition for air defense systems and HIMARS MLRS
