NEW YORK, March 16. /TASS/. US President Joe Biden is set to announce a 1.01-billion military aid package to Ukraine on Wednesday, the Wall Street Journal said, citing US administration sources.

The aid package will include anti-tank and air defense weapons, including Javelin portable anti-tank missiles and Stinger man-portable air-defense systems.

The decision was made in the run-up to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky’s upcoming address to the US Congress, during which he is expected to request additional support from the United States.
