The Pentagon said in a statement that this is the sixty-sixth tranche of equipment that the Biden Administration will provide to Ukraine from the US Department of Defense warehouses since August 2021.
"The United States will continue to work with nearly 50 Allies and partners through the Ukraine Defense Contact Group and related coalitions of forces and capabilities to provide Ukraine with the support it needs to win the war," the Pentagon said.
