Details: Zelenskyy mentioned the recent discussion of the Victory Plan with the US and a conversation with President Joe Biden.

Quote: "We have received a package worth half a billion [US dollars], and we have also agreed – this is also part of the plan – that we will now be receiving packages every two to three weeks to strengthen our forces," Zelenskyy said.

He noted that for security reasons, he cannot disclose the exact amount of the aid.

"I expect the packages to be large: from half a billion to 750 million [US dollars]. I think it will be a fairly quick process. This is crucial for us to strengthen Ukraine as much as possible over the next few months, from October to December, as envisioned by the Victory Plan," the president added.

Background: 

• The latest US military aid package, valued at US$425 million, was announced on 16 October.
• In recent months, there have been challenges in providing military aid from the United States due to limited stockpiles of weapons and unresolved financing issues regarding several billion dollars.
