The security package includes air defense capability, air-to-ground munitions, armored vehicles and critical munitions, the White House said in a statement.

Zelenskyy, writing on Telegram, expressed gratitude to Biden, both parties of Congress and the American people for the new package. He also mentioned speaking to Biden about Kyiv's five-point "victory plan," which he presented to parliament on Wednesday.

"I proposed considering the possibility of joint weapons production," Reuters quoted him as saying. "We also discussed the importance of additional training for Ukrainian soldiers."

Ukraine, he said, thanked the United States "for its readiness to help Ukraine strengthen its positions to compel Russia towards honest diplomacy."

The AFP news agency reported that Biden also plans a virtual meeting with Ukraine’s allies in November as he seeks to shore up support for Kyiv ahead of a potential return of Donald Trump to the White House.
