The Defense Department on Friday announced that it was again dipping into its stockpile to provide Ukraine with $400 million worth of military weapons and ammunition to help the country battle against Russian invaders.

The Biden administration is ramping up to provide some $61 billion in military assistance to Ukraine that was approved by Congress last month after a lengthy partisan standoff that left Ukrainian fighters short of resources to battle advancing Russian troops in the south and east. The latest U.S. military drawdown comes as Ukraine is rushing troops to the frontline in the northeast to beat back Russian advances near Kharkiv, the country’s second-largest city. Russia has had the initiative along the more than 600-mile front in recent months, taking past some territory reclaimed by Kyiv in 2023.
Pentagon officials said the U.S. will also deliver 155mm and 105mm artillery rounds, Stinger anti-aircraft rounds, Javelin and AT-4 anti-tank systems. The resupply effort will help Ukraine meet its “critical security and defense needs,” Defense Department officials said.
