Officials tell Reuters announcement expected later today as House is under pressure to pass $95bn national security package

The United States is preparing a new military aid package for Ukraine that could be worth as much as $400m, two US officials told Reuters on Tuesday, the first such move in months as additional funds for Kyiv remain blocked by Republican leaders in Congress.

The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said an announcement was expected later on Tuesday.
