"Thank you" US President Joe Biden for providing Ukraine "with another powerful defence support package worth $2.5 billion," Zelenskyy wrote in English on Twitter.

The Ukrainian leader hailed the Stryker armoured personnel carriers, Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles and Avenger air defence systems included in the package as an "important help in our fight against the aggressor".
