Details: In particular, CNN correspondent Natasha Bertrand wrote on Twitter (X) that Biden announced a new US$225 million aid package for Ukraine.

In response, Zelenskyy thanked him.

In addition, AP reported that the US president apologised for the months-long delay in the delivery of US military aid, which allowed Russia to gain certain advantages on the battlefield.

At the same time, Biden stressed that the American people will support Ukraine in the long term: "We’re still in. Completely. Thoroughly."

AP’s sources further noted that the package would include air defence missiles, Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, Javelin and AT-4 anti-tank systems, 155mm howitzers, armoured vehicles, trailers, patrol boats, demolition materials and a wide range of other spare parts and equipment.

Background: Earlier, after granting limited permission for Ukraine to use US weapons to strike Russian territory, Biden expressed opposition to potential strikes deep into Russian territory with US-supplied weapons.
