US military aid to Ukraine since President Joe Biden took office totals $18.3 billion, Blinken pointed out. According to the Pentagon, the new commitment includes 5,000 anti-tank weapons, 5,000 remote-controlled anti-tank mines, vehicles and medical supplies.

"The capabilities we deliver are carefully balanced to make the greatest difference for Ukraine on the battlefield," Blinken pointed out. The United States remains "on the side of the Ukrainian people, who are defending their freedom and independence with extraordinary courage and immeasurable determination."
