This from RFE/RL's correspondent Luke Johnson in Washington:
The White House announced a new $53 million aid package for Ukraine on September 18.
The package includes $46 million in security assistance for Ukraine's military and border guards, with $7 million directed toward international relief organizations for humanitarian aid in Ukraine.
The military aid includes body armor, helmets, vehicles, night- and thermal-vision devices, and countermortar radars.
The United States has thus far provided about $60 million in nonlethal military aid to Ukraine.
Some members of Congress from both parties have called for Washington to provide lethal aid and a total of up to $350 million in military aid.
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko asked the U.S. congress for both lethal and nonlethal aid in an address to a joint session of Congress on September 18.
He is due to meet with President Barack Obama later in the day.
