 U.S. sends weapons to Ukraine. The United States announced the details of a new $2.6 billion military aid package to Kiev for the defense of Ukraine in the war against Russian forces. The package includes various types of ammunition provided by the Pentagon's Armory. It is planned to deliver them to the battlefield in a flexible manner. It is noted that $500 million of the aid will be provided from U.S. warehouses. Besides, the U.S. will spend more than $2 billion to buy an array of munitions, radar and other weapons for that country in the future. The White House announced as Ukrainian troops prepare for a spring offensive against Russian forces. Much of the ammunition will be taken from military stockpiles so they can be in the war zone quickly, including U.S. provided HMRs, Patriot Air Defense Missile Systems, Air Defense Interceptors and artillery rounds that Ukraine is using to defend itself. The package, like many of the previous ones, is pushing forward more than 155 mm artillery rounds as Ukraine burns through that stock fighting back against Russia's ground invasion. The immediate assistance includes anti-armor systems, small arms, heavy equipment transport vehicles and maintenance support. It is also noted that from the said $2.1 million, Nassams, surface-to-air missile systems, air surveillance radars and auto cannons for shooting down drones will also be purchased for Ukraine. The Pentagon said in a statement that the United States will continue to provide Ukraine with urgently needed battlefield weapons and long-term security support.
