The following press release was published by the Antony J. Blinken, Secretary of State on April 19. It is reproduced in full below.

We will continue to stand with our Ukrainian partners in response to of Russia’s continued war of aggression.

Pursuant to a delegation of authority from President Biden, I am authorizing our 36th drawdown of U.S. arms and equipment for Ukraine valued at $325 million. This security assistance package includes more ammunition for U.S.-provided HIMARS and artillery rounds, as well as anti-armor systems, small arms, logistics support vehicles, and maintenance support essential to strengthening Ukraine’s defenders on the battlefield. This new security assistance will enable Ukraine to continue to bravely defend itself in the face of Russia’s brutal, unprovoked and unjustified war.

Russia could end its war today. Until Russia does, the United States and our allies and partners will stand united with Ukraine for as long as it takes.
