New US weapons package for Ukraine includes 18 patrol boats to help protect its riverways from the Russian invasionThe United States said it would provide 18 patrol boats to help Ukraine protect its riverways as part of the latest $450 million security aid package.

The package includes two 35-foot small-unit riverine craft, six 40-foot maritime combat craft, and ten 34-foot Dauntless Sea Ark patrol boats, the Department of Defense said on Thursday.

"These are largely to protect the riverways and to enable Ukraine to maintain its control of the riverways. They can also be used in close-in coastal areas," a senior defense official said during a briefing at the Pentagon.

"Obviously, with each of these packages, we [also] provide a lot of spare parts," the official said. "We want to make sure they can keep the systems up and running."
