Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced Thursday morning that the United States will be sending non-lethal aid to Ukraine.
The supplies will include medical aid, helmets, small fuel pumps, generators and tents, he said in a press briefing with Polish Defense Minister Tomasz Siemoniak.
'These measures are not meant to provoke or threaten Russia,' Hagel said. 'De-escalation has been our focus, and Russia must take steps to make that happen.'
The U.S. has already sent other non-lethal aid to Ukraine's military, such as prepackaged meals.
The authorization of aid comes as tensions between Russia and the United States rise, with reports of a Russian fighter jet 'buzzing' an American naval ship in the Black Sea.
