The United States has provided more than $25 million in security assistance to Ukraine this week, according to the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine.

"Despite COVID-19, our security assistance to Ukraine continues! This week, the Office of Defense Cooperation received more than $25 million in night vision devices, thermals, radios, and medical equipment for Ukraine to use in the JFO zone," the embassy wrote on its Facebook page.

The United States stands strongly with Ukraine in support of its sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of Russian aggression, the embassy stressed.

As reported, the U. United States Agency for International Development (USAID) extended humanitarian assistance to Ukraine from $1.2 million announced earlier to $9.1 million to tackle the coronavirus spread.
