Since the onset of the Russian invasion, the US has pledged nearly $17.6bn in security assistance to Ukraine.  

The latest package follows the Ukraine Defense Contact Group meeting held recently in Belgium.   

As many as 50 nations committed to delivering air defence capabilities and other assistance to Ukraine. 

At the meeting, Canada announced its decision to deliver military assistance worth over $34.04m to Ukraine.   

As part of the pledge, Germany donated the first of four IRIS-T air-defence systems to help Ukraine protect its citizens from Russian strikes.

Germany is also expected to send more MARS rocket systems and howitzers while Spain has vowed to deliver four HAWK launchers to bolster Ukraine’s air defence.
