Editor’s note: This is a developing story and is being updated.The U.S. is preparing a military aid package for Ukraine worth $1 billion, Reuters reported on April 23, citing two unnamed American officials.The reports followed the vote in the U.S. House of Representatives after months of congressional gridlock, when a key foreign aid package for U.S. allies was passed, providing over $60 billion in assistance for Kyiv. The bill has to go to the Senate, where a vote is expected as early as April 23. U.S. President Joe Biden said that he would sign the aid bill “as soon as it is approved.”Reuters reported, citing its sources, that the package will include vehicles, Stinger air defense munitions, TOW and Javelin anti-tank munitions, additional ammunition for high-mobility artillery rocket systems (HIMARS). The new tranche will also include 155 millimeter artillery shells and “other weapons that can immediately be put to use on the battlefield,” Reuters wrote.
