The United States will send $1 billion in ammunition, weapons and vehicles to Ukraine, the Pentagon announced Monday. The latest military aid package includes ammunition for the High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, or HIMARS. Defense officials credited the weapon and stiff Ukrainian resolve with slowing the Russian advance.
The package also includes conventional artillery ammunition, armored ambulances and anti-tank weapons. The Biden administration has provided Ukraine with $9.8 billion in military aid.
