The announcement follows a phone call between Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky and US President Joe Biden.

The $800m worth of US weaponry pledged by President Biden on Wednesday to include artillery and radar systems that may require "additional training" for Ukrainian troops.

"The systems that will probably require some additional training for Ukrainian forces are the howitzers (and) ... the counter artillery radar," Pentagon spokesman John Kirby told reporters.

The radar system, he said, is "not a very difficult system to operate, but it's not one that they have in their inventory". Howitzers are a type of relatively short-barrelled cannon, used to lob shells into enemy lines.

According to the US Defense Department, the shipment will include 18 Howitzers along with 40,000 artillery rounds. It will also include hundreds of missiles and Switchblade drones - also known as kamikaze drones due to the way they can be flown into their target.

The US is also sending 11 helicopters(Mi-17), hundreds of armoured vehicles, anti-personnel mines, body armour and chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear protective equipment.

Senior US defence officials say the total military aid provided by the US now stands at more than $3bn. Biden has said the weaponry supplied so far has helped ensure the failure of Russia’s initial war aims.

But he added it was not the time to rest, saying: “I assured President Zelenskyy that the American people will continue to stand with the brave Ukrainian people."

This type of love America is showing Ukraine is called hypocritical love. Why don't they use it directly on Russia if they love Ukraine so much? Anyways, Russia will still ruin all of it but sadly it will not be only equipment then, there would be Ukrainians manning those equipment. So very sad.

When y

Go and read about WWII, how many casualties when Russia was only 16m in population, then think of now what it would cost. lol... Easy to summon war, I hope you can stand to fight it.


WWII costs 75-80m casualties, 50m soldiers died.. think of now with huge population. remember no nuclear was even used back then. Just go sit down

I felt like ignoring you for asking me to go sit down. Read through my comment again, maybe you will get the point I am making.

Talk about Health insurance, government will say no money, insulin costs is so high that diabetic patients living here cant afford it, people are quitting their jobs at an exponential rate, inflation is over the roof(forget the 8.5%) , gas prices, transgender crises, social security is running out of money etc. But this government has sent $1.3Billion to Ukraine and is about to sent another $800M. No money for citizens but there is always money for war which isn't directly happening in America.

Mid-terms deh come, we go wait for una.

The inflation side shows some governments are hiding real data. A friend in the US said that groceries that he used to buy at $40 is now $100. How is that an 8.5 percent increase in inflation?

Bro, eggs that we normally buy at $3 is now $10, milk and co are over the roof. Those bastards are hiding the data. Inflation is probably over 20%-30%. These bastards are funding the war instead of fixing their shit back here.

We call this FFR: Food For Russia. They won't last on the battlefield before Russia takes them out, that's even if they get there.

Reminds me of the Slovakian S-300 that were destroyed as soon as they were set up.

These ones won't be different.
