One million bullets will be donated to the Ukraine armed forces by an Arizona-based company.
Following the unprovoked invasion by Russia, the company said it would support the fight for independence of the country.
In a statement released on the company's website, it said: "Ammo will formally offer to manufacture ammunition to donate to the Ukraine armed forces as they fight for their country's continued independence."
The day after the invasion, Volodymyr Zelensky said that the citizens of Ukraine were defending their land and their children. He called on his friends in Ukraine to come over and help defend the country.
Zelensky urged Ukrainians to go on the offensive in his latest video address.
The statement said: "Ammo stands firmly in support of Ukraine's sovereignty and independence, as we stand for freedom and democracy everywhere."
While we hope for a quick and peaceful resolution to the crisis and that diplomacy will win the day, we condemn the Russian aggression.
Insider requested comment from Ammo, but they did not respond immediately.
On Monday, the EU said it would send weapons to Ukraine and impose other sanctions. Putin put Russia's nuclear deterrent forces on high alert for what he described as illegitimate Western sanctions.
Thousands of Ukrainians have fled to other countries, while some have left their hometowns and decided to stay in the country.
Efforts by neighboring countries are ongoing. A restaurant near the border with Ukraine is serving up to 100 free meals a day to refugees.
