During the visit, President Biden will announce a significant new package of security assistance to help Ukraine defend itself against Russian aggression, the Whitw House said.
"The visit will underscore the United States’ steadfast commitment to supporting Ukraine for as long as it takes, including through the provision of economic, humanitarian, and military assistance," the Press Secretary added.
According to multiple administration sources, Biden and his team are planning to announce the delivery of a PATRIOT missile battle system today to help Ukraine with its air defense.
