May 10, 2024, 02:22 PM

The U.S. is set to announce a new $400 million military aid package for Ukraine on Friday, as confirmed by multiple sources including Politico. This package includes Patriot missiles, Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, and Bradley fighting vehicles, emphasizing the U.S.'s commitment to Ukraine's defense capabilities. Additionally, the U.S. recently approved a nearly $61 billion aid package after months of political wrangling. Despite this support, Ukraine continues to face severe challenges on the battlefield, losing ground while awaiting aid. The State Department has reiterated that no U.S. troops will be sent to Ukraine, focusing instead on providing military and economic assistance to help Ukraine defend itself against Russia.
