The U.S. Embassy's Office of Defense Cooperation in Ukraine has received over $60 million worth of equipment to be handed over to Ukrainian partners, including walkie-talkies, ammunition and anti-tank Javelin missiles, the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine said.

"U.S. security assistance & cooperation efforts with Ukraine during COVID-19 continue!
