U.S. Prepares $375 Million Military Aid Package for Ukraine

The aid, set to be announced next week, marks a significant increase amid critical winter months and inventory shortages.

The new package includes patrol boats, HIMARS ammunition, 155- and 105-millimeter artillery rounds, and spare parts.
This aid breaks a months-long trend of smaller packages, with recent ones not exceeding $275 million.
The U.S. has $5.9 billion left in Presidential Drawdown Authority, which is set to expire at the end of the fiscal year.
Congressional leaders and the Biden administration are working to extend the drawdown authority to continue support into the next year.
The announcement comes as Russia intensifies attacks on Ukraine's energy grid ahead of the winter season.
