How much will be the next package of military aid to Ukraine from the United States

This was written by the Associated Press , citing US officials.

The amount will be 275 million dollars. The main purpose of the aid is efforts to push Russian troops out of key areas in the south as winter approaches.

There will be no major new weapons in the new package. Instead, U.S. aid is mainly focused on restocking thousands of ammunition for existing weapons systems, including highly mobile artillery-based missile systems known as HIMARS, which Ukraine is successfully using in its counteroffensive against Russia.

The publication says the new aid comes after federal officials unveiled U.S. government moves to ensure weapons donated to Ukraine don't fall into the hands of Russian troops, their proxies or other extremist groups. The plan, released by the State Department on Thursday, notes that accounting for weapons is especially difficult during an active war and when there is no major US presence on the ground.

The total U.S. military aid to Ukraine since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion is about $16.8 billion.
