President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. met with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine today to discuss U.S. support for Ukraine in response to Russia’s continued aggression. The leaders discussed the state of the battlefield and ongoing U.S. efforts to provide Ukraine with the equipment it needs to defend itself. During the meeting, President Biden announced an additional package of security assistance for Ukraine, which includes a Patriot air defense system, air defense interceptors, and artillery and HIMARS ammunition. This is the eighth security assistance package authorized by President Biden since he signed the national security supplemental.
