"The package of military assistance will include anti-tank missiles and more of the defensive weapons that the US has already been providing, including Javelin anti-tank and Stinger anti-aircraft missiles..."

Javelins and Stingers are hardly defensive-only weapons.

Some of the fighter jets mentioned have the range to make it from Kiev to Moscow (not that they would ever get that far for other reasons)
