Aid to include missiles for the High-Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) and the Patriot air defense system, said a U.S. official
The Pentagon will provide Ukraine with $200 million in weapons and ammunition to help sustain Kyiv’s counteroffensive as troops on the front lines face significant hurdles against a well-entrenched Russian defence, according to two U.S. officials.
The aid comes as the U.S. funding for Ukraine is nearly all spent and the Biden administration is expected to request a new package of supplemental aid from Congress to continue that support. In eastern areas of the country, intense fighting between the two sides means that along the front line, “multiple changes” in position and control take place within a day, Hanna Maliar, Ukraine’s deputy defence minister, said Wednesday on her official Telegram channel.
