STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOS -The Pentagon on Wednesday announced a new security assistance package worth up to $175 million for Ukraine, including depleted uranium ammunition for Abrams tanks, the first time the U.S. is sending the controversial armor-piercing munitions to Kyiv.
On Wednesday, the Pentagon said the military aid would also include anti-armor systems, tactical air navigation systems and additional ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems . The $175 million was part of a total of more than $1 billion in assistance that Blinken announced in the Ukrainian capital. It also included over $665 million in new military and civilian security assistance and millions of dollars in support for Ukraine's air defenses and other areas.
It follows an earlier decision by Washington to provide cluster munitions to Ukraine, despite concerns over the dangers such weapons pose to civilians.
