The following press release was published by the Antony J. Blinken, Secretary of State on May 21. It is reproduced in full below.

President Biden and President Zelensky met today at the G7 meeting in Hiroshima, Japan to reaffirm that that the United States will continue to stand with our Ukrainian partners as they defend themselves from Russia’s war of aggression.

Pursuant to a delegation of authority from President Biden, I am authorizing our 38th drawdown of U.S. arms and equipment for Ukraine.

This security assistance package includes additional ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, artillery ammunition, anti-tank weapons, armored medical treatment vehicles, trucks and trailers to transport heavy equipment, spare parts and other field equipment essential to strengthening Ukraine’s defenders on the battlefield.

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.
