The US State Department approved a potential $2.7 billion military sale to Ukraine aimed at strengthening and upgrading the country's air defences, the department said in a congressional notification late on Friday.
The proposed package includes missiles, counter-drone radars, extended-range laser-guided air defence systems and modifications to mobile launchers.
If the purchase goes ahead, it would be financed through a combination of European contributions and US Foreign Military Financing funds allocated during former President Joe Biden's administration.
The State Department said the US funding would count as a capital contribution to the US-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund, established as part of a minerals agreement between the two countries.
The proposed sale remains subject to congressional review.
It comes as Ukraine continues to strengthen its air defences against Russian missile and drone attacks.
