Pentagon will give another 400 million dollars in military aid to Ukraine.
A U.S. Defense Department official announced Friday that Washington will provide Ukraine with an additional $400 million in military aid, including Himars and highly accurate mortars.
An official in the US Department of Defense announced the $400 million aid package from Washington to Ukraine.
According to this American military official, these aids include Himars cannons and highly accurate mortars.
He went on to say that the Russian reports about the destruction of a number of American Himars cannons in Ukraine are incorrect.
This US military official said that the new military aid package includes a thousand highly accurate 15 mm mortars, which indicates a change in US support for Ukraine in the war with Russia.
The deployment of these missile systems was done while Russia had previously warned that if these high-precision long-range systems reach Ukraine, it will consider targets “that have not been targeted so far.”
Over the past weeks, Russian forces have been able to make significant advances in the Donbass using superior artillery power.
A few days ago, the US Ministry of Defense announced that two surface-to-air missile systems will be part of the new round of US aid to Ukraine.
The Pentagon announced that the new package of US military aid to Ukraine includes two “Nasams” missile systems, four anti-artillery radars and 150,000 rounds of 155 mm ammunition.
A few days ago, a senior Ukrainian commander announced that the country’s forces have started using long-range missile systems sent by the United States (HIMARS).
