The United States is sending Ukraine two NASAMS surface-to-air missile systems, four additional counter-artillery radars and up to 150,000 rounds of 155mm artillery ammunition as part of its latest weapons packages for Ukraine, the Pentagon said on Friday, APA reports citing Reuters.

The assistance package, worth about $820 million, was broadly announced by U.S. President Joe Biden on Thursday in Madrid following a gathering of NATO leaders that was focused on the Russia-Ukraine war.

Including the latest rounds of assistance, the United States has now committed approximately $6.9 billion since the begining of the Russia-Ukraine war.
