US Unveils $275M Military Aid to Boost Ukraine's Defense Against Russia

The Biden administration has announced a $275 million military aid package for Ukraine, including rockets, artillery rounds, and other weaponry to help fend off Russian advances in the northeast. This is the fifth tranche of aid since Congress approved $60 billion in additional funding last month. Secretary of State Antony Blinken emphasized the urgency and significance of the aid, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed gratitude and highlighted the critical need for continued support. The US has provided approximately $51 billion in military aid to Ukraine since Russia's invasion in February 2022.
