NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg asked allies to make a multi-year commitment to keep military aid for Ukraine at the same level.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Tuesday that the US will soon announce an additional 2.3 billion USD in security assistance for Ukraine, to include anti-tank weapons and air defense systems.
This is the fifth US military aid package for Ukraine since an aid package containing 61 billion USD for Ukraine was approved by the US Congress in April.
