US to Send Ukraine at Least $275 Million in New Weapons: Report

Source: Newsweek

The United States will send Ukraine at least $275 million in new weapons, according to a Tuesday report by The Associated Press (AP).

The AP cited two unnamed U.S. officials as saying the Pentagon will provide the new arms to help Kyiv in its war against Russia.

The news agency noted that President Joe Biden's administration is trying to help Ukraine as much as possible before President-elect Donald Trump takes office in January.

News of the $275 million in weapons comes after Biden authorized Ukraine to use U.S.-supplied missiles to strike deeper inside Russia, a move that's been condemned by the Kremlin.

Any damage to an ammo depot is a "win".

I think the fact that Putin had to bring in "green" (i.e., not "battle ready/hardened" ) North Koreans to bolster his army, is a clue to where things are at the moment.
