The Defense Department has announced another package of security assistance for Ukraine, which will include additional High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), ammunition, and a substantial number of Phoenix Ghost unmanned aerial systems.

This latest package includes about $175 million in equipment pulled from existing U.S. military stocks through presidential drawdown authority and $95 million in equipment from the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, or USAI fund, said a senior defense official during a background briefing at the Pentagon.
