Ukraine has received a second shipment of weapons from the United States as part of $200 million in defensive aid promised amid fears of a Russian invasion.
"The second bird in Kyiv! More than 80 tons of weapons to strengthen Ukraine's defense capabilities from our friends in the USA! And this is not the end," Ukraine's Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov said in a tweet on Sunday.

I often wonder how America/Americans/our stupid damn leaders would react to Russia placing arms and soldiers in Messy-co.
American weapons or not, doubtful it will slow down the Russian bear at all. He’ll still eat em for lunch.
Maybe. But I approve of providing the Ukraine weapons.
We can’t keep letting Putin grab new territory every few years. Aggressors need to be stopped.
The very least we can do is make Putin pay a heavy price for it.
What do you think? We have to deliver the weapons to Ukraine, so they can be left behind for the Russians?
Our national security is threatened by the illegal alien inundation, not by anything in Ukraine.
Pedo Joe gets 10% off the top.
I suspect that if we had captured and subjugated and starved the Mexicans for over 70 years and after they won their independence back, we massed a few hundred thousand troops on their border - other folks arming them might be expected.
Who is paying for them?
Wars and rumors of wars
How's this a parallel comparison? Mexico is not at risk of being invaded by US. In fact they've been invading us for generations. They can get all the weapons they want as long as they respect that border.

America is not an imperialist country. Quite the contrary.
125,000 Russian troops living in those tents during this cold weather for the last 2 months has to be hell on them.
Well, to be fair we’re so exceedingly wealthy. We light our cigars with hundred dollar bills. So much money we don’t know what to do with it.
And meanwhile, we’ll have drawn down our reserves, just in time for China to take the opportunity to take over Taiwan, taking away the US source of microchips, ending the US as a world player.
For some historical context, President Clinton promised to provide Ukraine weapons to defend itself in exchange for Ukraine giving up the Soviet nukes it held within its borders. I realize that it was not a treaty ratified by the Senate, so we don’t have to do so, but there it is.
Perhaps so, but it will be a much more costly lunch.
Agree..Putin needs to pull back.
