WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Joe Biden on Friday announced a new plan to provide security assistance to Ukraine, including providing additional munitions, radar and other equipment.

A US official announced in a separate statement that the value of this aid was 150 million dollars (142 million euros).

Joe Biden did not specify the amount of this aid. His administration has nearly exhausted the funds it uses to finance support for Ukraine and the US president has urged Congress to release an additional $33 billion to help Kyiv, he added.
