US provides Ukraine with $300M in military aid to counter Russian aggression.

The US has sent Ukraine another $300 million in weapons from its stocks, including HIMARS rockets, howitzers, artillery, mortar rounds, TOW missiles, small arms, and anti-armor weapons systems, as well as non-offensive military equipment. This is the first package sent since leaked Pentagon documents revealed that Ukraine's air defense forces would be fully exhausted by May 23 without further reinforcement. Kyiv is expected to launch a renewed counter-offensive in days to liberate Ukrainian territory that Russia has claimed. The aid frequency lagged over the winter months as the fighting came to a relative standstill, but Washington has sent Ukraine roughly $36.4 billion since President Biden took office.
