On the first anniversary of Russia’s invasion, the United States announced a new $2 billion package of long-term security assistance for Ukraine.
More ammunition and a variety of small, sophisticated drones will be part of the assistance, according to a statement from the Pentagon.

The F-16 fighter jets that Ukraine has repeatedly asked for will not be part of the package.
Additionally, Washington unveiled new export restrictions, tariffs, and sanctions against Russia and its allies in an effort to limit Moscow’s capacity to wage war.

The sanctions are aimed at targets in Russia and “third-country actors” across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East that are supporting Russia’s war effort, the White House said in a fact sheet.
