The Pentagon says it will send $150 million in defense aid to Ukraine, which will include funding for training, equipment, and consultation.

The package “includes capabilities to enhance the lethality, command, and control, and situational awareness of Ukraine’s forces through the provision of counter-artillery radars, counter-unmanned aerial systems, secure communications gear, electronic warfare, and military medical evacuation equipment, and training and equipment to improve the operational safety and capacity of Ukrainian Air Force bases,” according to a June 11 statement.
