US will send Ukraine at least $275 million in new weapons in push to bolster Kyiv

The Pentagon announced a $275 million aid package for Ukraine, including antipersonnel land mines and air defense systems, as the Biden administration rushes to deliver military support before President-elect Trump takes office.

Ukraine recently used U.S.-supplied ATACMS missiles to strike Russian targets, escalating tensions.

The aid package includes artillery rounds, HIMARS munitions, drones, and more, using funds approved by Congress.

Biden’s administration is also expediting a $50 billion loan backed by frozen Russian assets to strengthen Ukraine before the leadership transition, the Associated Press has reported.

Trump has criticized U.S. support for Ukraine, promising to quickly end the war upon taking office.
