The US is providing another $1bn in security assistance to Ukraine, President Joe Biden has announced.

This will include additional artillery and coastal defense weapons, as well as ammunition for artillery and advanced rocket systems for Ukraine’s defensive operations in the Donbas, the White House said.

Biden, who said he spoke this morning to his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, added: “I reaffirmed my commitment that the United States will stand by Ukraine as it defends its democracy and support its sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of unprovoked Russian aggression.”
