The support is intended to help Ukraine in its efforts in the eastern Donbas region, the recent focus of Russia's invasion, the Reuters news agency reported.
It includes "additional artillery and coastal defense weapons, as well as ammunition for the artillery and advanced rocket systems that the Ukrainians need to support their defensive operations in the Donbas," Biden said in a statement from the White House after a call with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky.
Biden also announced an additional USD 225 million in humanitarian assistance "to help people inside Ukraine, including by supplying safe drinking water, critical medical supplies and health care, food, shelter, and cash for families to purchase essential items."
He added: "The bravery, resilience, and determination of the Ukrainian people continues to inspire the world. And the United States, together with our allies and partners, will not waver in our commitment to the Ukrainian people as they fight for their freedom."
Wednesday was day 112 of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
