Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, flanked by Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Charles Q. Brown, announced a new $6 billion aid package for Ukraine after meeting with defense officials from dozens of countries committed to helping them fend off Russian aggression.

Shortly after Biden signed the legislation into law, the department announced a $1 billion military aid package.
