US to Send Additional $125M in Military Aid to Ukraine

The US is providing Ukraine with an additional $125 million in military aid to bolster its defenses against Russia. This includes air defense systems, radars, and anti-tank weapons. The new package comes amidst Ukraine's intensified ground offensive. Recent conflicts have resulted in numerous civilian casualties, highlighting the escalating violence.

The United States is dispatching an additional $125 million in military assistance to Ukraine, including essential air defense systems, radars to counter enemy artillery, and anti-tank weapons, as reported by the White House on Friday.

This latest aid package arrives as Ukraine has launched its most significant ground offensive on Russian territory since the conflict began in February 2022. The assault in the Kursk region has led Moscow to declare a state of emergency and send reinforcements.

National security spokesman John Kirby stated that Ukraine's use of US-supplied weapons in the offensive aligns with current administration policies. While these weapons can be used for cross-border counterstrikes, their use deeper within Russian territory remains restricted. The aid will be sourced from existing US stocks, including Stinger missiles, artillery ammunition, and vehicles, bringing the total US aid to Ukraine to $55.6 billion since 2022.
