Ukraine will receive a new aid package from the United States in the coming days.

According to the Head of State, the summit was productive for Ukraine.
Answering a question about the rapid delivery of PAC-3 missiles from partners, Zelenskyy said that a package from the US is expected in the near future, as well as additional agreements with Europeans.
"In the coming days, we will receive a package from the US. I also had separate agreements with the Europeans. There are no dates yet, but there will be additional PAC-3s," Zelenskyy said.
Addendum
PAC-3 missiles are used in Patriot systems, which are one of the key means of air defense for intercepting ballistic targets. For Ukraine, the issue of their supply remains critical amid regular Russian attacks using ballistic missiles.
Note that in recent days, Ukraine stated that its armed forces were unable to shoot down any Russian ballistic missiles amid Moscow's attacks on major cities.
This illustrates the acute need for more Patriot missiles, which Kyiv has typically relied on to counter such threats. After all, NATO allies have warned that their stocks are limited.
