$400 Million in Additional U.S. Military Assistance for Ukraine

---

The United States continues to support Ukraine�with additional military assistance to help�defend itself, including from the Kremlin's�relentless attacks on�Ukraine's�critical energy infrastructure.

Pursuant to a delegation of authority from the President, today I am authorizing our twenty-sixth�drawdown of U.S. arms and equipment for Ukraine since August 2021.�This $400�million drawdown includes additional arms, munitions, and�air defense�equipment from U.S. Department of Defense inventories.��This drawdown will bring the total U.S. military assistance for Ukraine to an unprecedented level of�approximately�$19.7 billion, since the beginning of the�Administration.

The United States will continue to stand with more than�40 allies and partners in support of the people of Ukraine as they defend their freedom and independence with extraordinary courage and boundless determination. The�artillery�ammunition, precision fires,�air�defense missiles,�and�tactical�vehicles�that�we are providing�will�best serve Ukraine on the battlefield. We are joined�in our efforts by France and the UK,�including the��50 million�in air defense systems offered�by�UK Prime Minister Sunak�during�his recent visit to Kyiv, and�we note�Sweden's recent air defense commitment valued at nearly $300 million.

We will continue to support Ukraine�for as long as it takes,�so it can�continue to�defend itself and be in the strongest possible position at the negotiating table when the time comes.
