The administration of US President Joe Biden is preparing to announce a new military support package for the Armed Forces of Ukraine today.

This was reported by POLITICO, citing two administration officials, Ukrinform reports. 

"The United States will announce a new USD 400 million military aid package for Ukraine on Friday," the publication said.

It is noted that the new support comes as Russia has launched a large-scale offensive on Kharkiv.

As Ukrinform reported, Russian troops have intensified shelling in the northern part of Kharkiv region, primarily hitting the city of Vovchansk.
