The US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin has made a visit to Kyiv where he unveiled a new military aid package for Ukraine worth $100m.

The new aid package includes anti-tank weapons, air-defence interceptors and an additional High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS).

Austin met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as well as Defence Minister Rustem Umerov and Commander-in-Chief General Valerii Zaluz-hnyi on Monday and promised the long-term support of the United States.

Austin sez Ukraine’s effort to defeat Russian forces “matters to the rest of the world” and that US support will continue.
