The administration of US President Joseph Biden is preparing to announce a new arms package for Ukraine next week, Reuters reports.

"The composition of the next round of weapons aid is still being formulated and is set to be unveiled on Wednesday at the 16th meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group in Brussels where security assistance will be a key topic, the officials said. It was expected to have a value of around $200 million and could include similar ammunition and ground vehicles that have been in recent aid packages," the report notes.

It is noted that the US Department of Defense continues to spend funds discovered as a result of a multi-billion dollar accounting error. The funds allowed the Biden administration to send weapons, supplies and ammunition to Kyiv, even though new aid to Ukraine was excluded from a stopgap spending bill passed by the House of Representatives over the weekend to prevent a government shutdown. But the Pentagon still has about $5.4 billion in Congressional Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA) after the Pentagon discovered in June that an accounting error had overstated the cost of arms delivered to Ukraine by $6.2 billion.

Biden is also asking Congress to approve another $24 billion for Ukraine, which Ukraine aid advocates - both Republicans and Democrats - had hoped could become law as part of a spending bill. This request has not yet been reviewed.
