The following press statement was published by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs on March 20. It is reproduced in full below.

This week, as Russia’s unconscionable war of aggression against Ukraine continues at great human cost, we are again reminded of the boundless courage and steadfast resolve of the Ukrainian people, and the strong support for Ukraine across the international community.

Today, pursuant to a delegation of authority from President Biden, I am authorizing our 34th drawdown of U.S. arms and equipment for Ukraine valued at $350 million. This military assistance package includes more ammunition for U.S.-provided HIMARS and howitzers that Ukraine is using to defend itself, as well as ammunition for Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles, HARM missiles, anti-tank weapons, riverine boats, and other equipment.

We applaud the more than 50 countries that have come together to provide support for Ukraine as it defends its sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Russia alone could end its war today. Until Russia does we will stand united with Ukraine for as long as it takes.
