President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy will leave Washington with a new U.S. package of military assistance for the winter, according to CNN.
According to an American official, the new aid package will include additional artillery, anti-armor, anti-aircraft, and air defense capabilities that will better equip the country for an ongoing counteroffensive and beyond.
"Zelenskyy will be leaving the White House with a significant package of additional capabilities to help near- and long-term defenses,” said the official.
The package’s air defense capabilities are also expected to help Ukraine defend its skies ahead of a tough winter, with more strikes expected on critical infrastructure.
The package is not expected to include ATACMS missiles, which would allow Ukrainian soldiers the ability to strike longer-range targets.
