The Biden administration is unveiling $6 billion in new security assistance for Ukraine as the embattled nation attempts to fend off Russia’s invasion.

The new assistance package, announced on April 26, uses funds from the $61 billion Ukraine supplemental package passed by Congress earlier in the week and “includes equipment to augment Ukraine’s air defenses, fires, and artillery, and to sustain capabilities,” according to a statement from the Pentagon.
