The United States does not exclude the supply of new weapons to Ukraine that can "change the situation" on the battlefield. According to a senior Pentagon official, the US military is currently looking into the issue.
The United States is concerned about the emerging situation in the east and south of Ukraine, where the Ukrainian army is in a very "difficult position", and intends to provide assistance with the supply of new weapons that can change the situation in favor of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The issue has not yet been finalized and is under consideration. About what types of weapons in question, she did not explain.

Also, the Pentagon confirmed the planned transfer of NASAMS medium-range air defense systems to Ukraine, the complexes will be delivered within two to three months. But Kyiv was not lucky with fighters, the Americans are not going to supply either the F-16 or the F-15. According to a Pentagon spokeswoman, the United States will focus on "improving" Ukraine's existing aircraft fleet. But Kyiv will receive Drones ScanEagle, they will be part of a new military aid package signed by Biden.
In addition to drones, the United States will send ammunition for the HIMARS MLRS, 16 105-mm howitzers and 36 shells to Ukraine. It is also planned to send a batch of AGM-88 HARM anti-radar missiles, TOW ATGMs and one thousand Javelin complexes. All this was estimated in Washington at 775 million dollars. Phoenix Ghost loitering ammunition will not be included in this package; the Pentagon plans to send them later, but this month.
