The first batch of additional US military aid to Ukraine has arrived in Kyiv. This was reported on Saturday by the American Embassy in Ukraine on Twitter, TASS reports.

The first of several batches of an aid package recently adopted by U.S. President Joe Biden for Ukraine arrived in Kyiv tonight.

This cargo includes about 90 tons of lethal weapons, including ammunition for the defenders of Ukraine on the front line.

This assistance demonstrates the strong commitment of the United States to strengthening the defense capability of Ukraine against the backdrop of growing aggression from Russia, the diplomatic mission said in a statement.

Earlier, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said at a regular briefing for journalists that the United States would send additional military assistance to Ukraine in the near future, without specifying, however, the volume of supplies.
