The money will fund contracts for drones, weapons and other equipment that may not see the battlefront for a year or two, they said.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2022\/08\/19\/seek-and-destroy-new-us-aid-to-ukraine-targets-russian-artillery\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"175\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635845646397639322-2089886jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">\u2018Seek and destroy\u2019: New US aid to Ukraine targets Russian artillery<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">A new $775 million military aid package for Ukraine marks the first time the U.S. is sending ScanEagle drones for targeting artillery to the country.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The total of the aid package \u2014 which is being provided under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2022\/07\/01\/us-to-send-ukraine-advanced-nasams-air-defense-weapons-in-820-million-package\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative<\/a> \u2014 could change overnight, but not likely by much. Several officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the aid before its public release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike most previous packages, the new funding is largely aimed at helping Ukraine secure its medium- to long-term defense posture, according to officials familiar with the matter. Earlier shipments, most of them done under Presidential Drawdown Authority, have focused on Ukraine\u2019s more immediate needs for weapons and ammunition and involved materiel that the Pentagon already has in stock that can be shipped in short order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to providing longer-term assistance that Ukraine can use for potential future defense needs, the new package is intended to reassure Ukrainian officials that the United States intends to keep up its support, regardless of the day-to-day back and forth of the conflict, the officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1424\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22235298583457.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stands in front of lined up soldiers as he arrives for State Flag Day celebrations in Kyiv, Ukraine, Tuesday, Aug. 23, 2022.\" class=\"wp-image-105195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22235298583457.jpg.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22235298583457.jpg.jpg?resize=300,214 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22235298583457.jpg.jpg?resize=768,547 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22235298583457.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,729 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP22235298583457.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1094 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">In this photo provided by the Ukrainian Presidential Press Office, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stands in front of lined up soldiers as he arrives for State Flag Day celebrations in Kyiv, Ukraine, Tuesday, Aug. 23, 2022.
