The United States has announced it will provide Ukraine with generators, ammunition, anti-drone machine guns, and other equipment as the country deals with severe disruptions to its electrical grid.


In a statement, the United States pledged to send 200 commercial-grade generators, thermal-sighted machine guns, 200 precision-guided artillery rounds, parts for howitzers, 10,000 mortar rounds, high-speed anti-radiation missiles, 150 high mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles, and 100 light tactical vehicles. The Pentagon said the package was worth $400 million and would come from Department of Defense inventories.

The Pentagon added that the commercial-grade generators will help combat “Russia’s unrelenting and brutal missile and UAS attacks on Ukrainian critical energy infrastructure.”
