Mr. Biden said he had also approved the transfer of additional helicopters, saying equipment provided to Ukraine has been critical as it confronts the invasion.
The package, which brings the total military aid since Russian forces invaded Ukraine in February to more than 2.5 billion dollars, includes; artillery systems, artillery rounds, armoured personnel carriers and unmanned coastal defense boats.
