"The United States is poised to unveil a $6 billion arms purchase for Ukraine," Politico reported.

According to two U.S. officials, Washington is finalizing one of its largest-ever military aid packages to Ukraine, consisting of $6 billion in arms and equipment contracts for Kyiv's armed forces.

The package, expected to be announced today, will include Patriot air defense systems, artillery ammunition, drones, anti-drone weapons and air-to-air missiles mounted on fighter jets, according to one official and a third person familiar with the plan.

Funds for the procurement will be provided under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, which awards contracts to U.S. defense firms to produce new equipment for Ukraine rather than drawing from existing U.S. stockpiles.
