The United States announced on Monday 1 that it will send a new weapons package worth US$550 million to Ukrainian troops fighting Russia.
The new batch will include “more ammunition and artillery munitions for advanced high-action rocket systems known as Himars,” National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters.
According to him, this brings total US military aid to Ukraine more than $8 billion this year.
In a statement from the Pentagon, it was stated that the new aid will also include 75,000 155 mm howitzers.
The highly mobile Himars fires GPS-guided missiles with a range of 80 kilometers, enabling Ukraine to attack previously unreachable Russian targets.
Artillery is decisive in the war in Ukraine, where the presence of all kinds of shells is necessary for both the Ukrainian and Russian army.
