- One U.S. official said a new package was expected that would be roughly the size of the previous package, but details were still being worked out.
- NBC News first reported the latest package.

- Last week, the Biden administration announced $800 million in additional aid, including artillery systems, artillery rounds, armored personnel carriers, and unmanned coastal defense boats.
- If this week's aid package is as large as expected, it will bring total U.S. military aid to Ukraine since Russia invaded in February to well over $3 billion.
