Pak Sahafat – While Americans are struggling with various economic crises, on the one hand, the government of Joe Biden continues to fuel the fire of this war by sending military equipment, and on the other hand, it demands the end of this crisis from Russia.
In the latest developments, an International news agency, citing three unnamed sources, announced that the United States is preparing a new security package worth one billion dollars for Ukraine, which is the largest of its kind. It is considered as security assistance to this country.
According to a Reuters report, the new security package includes equipment including ammunition for long-range weapons and armored vehicles for providing medical aid.
The United States is expected to announce this military package on Monday, which brings the value of American security assistance to Ukraine to $9.8 billion since about six months ago.
The officials said that US President Joe Biden has not yet signed a new arms package for Ukraine and that these security packages are likely to change in terms of value and content.
Previously, John Kirby, the strategic communications coordinator of the White House National Security Council, informed reporters on August 11 about the new US arms package worth 550 million dollars and said that this package includes more ammunition for the advanced self-propelled missile systems known as Himars.

He continued: This figure increases the total military aid to Ukraine since the inauguration of Joe Biden, the president of this country, to more than 8 billion dollars.
The Minister of Defense of Ukraine announced that his country has received four missile systems (HIMARS) from the United States.
Meanwhile, the American “Defense News” website also reported on August 11: Experts believe that the months of war in Ukraine have provided new lessons in the land, sea and air fields and can change the future strategies of the American army.
This media added: Last week, the US Department of Defense announced another security package worth 270 million dollars for Ukraine, which included high-mobility artillery missile systems and “Phoenix Ghost” drone systems.
According to the report of the US Department of Defense, this military aid will increase Ukraine’s Himars missile systems to 16 systems and send another 580 Phoenix Ghost systems to the front line of conflicts in Ukraine.
On February 21, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized the independence of the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics in the Donbas region, criticizing the West’s inattention to Moscow’s security concerns. On February 23, just one day before the start of the war in Ukraine, the Council of the European Union approved the first package of sanctions against Russia in response to this action.
On Thursday, February 24, Putin launched a military operation against Ukraine, which he called a “special operation”, thus turning the tense Moscow-Kiev relationship into a military confrontation.
