The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Biden had not yet signed off on the new aid package.

They warned that the military aid packages could undergo changes in value and content before they are signed.

If the package is signed in its current form, it would be worth $1 billion and would include munitions for HIMARS rocket launchers and NASAMS anti-aircraft systems, as well as at least 50 M113 armored personnel carriers for medical evacuation.

The new package of military aid comes after the Pentagon's recent decision to allow Ukrainians to receive medical care at a US military hospital in Germany, located near the Ramstein air base, Reuters recalls.
