The deal will supply Ukraine with $300 million for long-term funding to strengthen Ukraine's air defenses. The funding will come from the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, which is a contract relationship with defense companies to build or modify major weapons systems, according to the Associated Press.

Furthermore, Ukraine will receive $125 million worth of US military equipment that will be supplied from existing US stockpiles through the presidential drawdown authority, the 50th package to do such since August 2021. The weapons will include anti-tank missiles, artillery rounds, demolition tools, cold weather gear, and munitions for the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS) and High-Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS).
