US assistance to Ukraine
Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion, the United States has been one of Kyiv's main allies. Washington provides Ukraine not only with humanitarian and financial support but also with military support. For example, in early June, US President Joe Biden announced a new aid package that includes missiles, HIMARS ammunition, howitzers, armored personnel carriers, and more.
Moreover, the United States recently announced the allocation of $1.5 billion in aid to Ukraine, which will be used for the energy sector and humanitarian needs.
