        The United States is preparing a $375 million military aid package for Ukraine, breaking a months-long trend towards smaller packages for Kyiv for its military operations against Russia, two U.S. officials told Reuters on Friday.
        
        The latest package comes at a crucial time in the war, as Russia pummels Ukraine's energy grid ahead of the critical winter months.
        
        The aid package, expected to be announced next week, includes patrol boats, additional ammunition for high-mobility artillery rocket systems (HIMARS), 155 and 105 millimeter artillery ammunition, spare parts and other weapons, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
        
        The contents and size of the package could change in the coming days ahead of the president's expected signature.
