The U.S. will provide Ukraine with $700 million in humanitarian

and demining efforts, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken
announced in Kyiv on Sept. 11, Azernews reports,

Blinken and U.K. Foreign Secretary David Lammy arrived in
Ukraine on Sept. 11 to meet President Volodymyr Zelensky and other
top Ukrainian officials.
The U.S. will provide $325 million to help repair Ukraine's

The package also includes $290 million in humanitarian aid,
which will support "millions of people in Ukraine and the
surrounding region who have been forced to flee their homes,"
Blinken said.
