Ukrainian fighting forces will receive a fresh round of heavy munitions from the U.S. to assist in the country’s fight against Russian invaders, the Pentagon announced Friday.
The Department of Defense said in a release that it was sending “critical air defense capabilities” to the country, as well as “armored infantry vehicles…Javelin anti-tank missiles, artillery ammunition, and conventional and long-range rockets.”
Ukraine will receive 2,000 anti-armor rockets, “Claymore anti-personnel munitions” and nearly 200 “heavy machine guns,” the release noted.
The new material is part of a more-than $2 billion defense package being sent to Ukraine this month.

Fresh munitions . . . get yer fresh munitions here . . .
Good to see.
I’m getting the impression the US govt. is afraid of something.
The Pentagon sees as its duty and mission the protection of Ukraine, not a foreign country like the United States with all its white supremacy and systemic racism.
The sooner Russia finishes off Ukraine the better.
It is an extraordinarily stupid war, and one in which the US should never have gotten involved — especially not the way it did in 2014.
Hey congress why don’t you tell the homos at the pentagram to stop giving our crap away.
Perhaps they need an excuse to not shoot down the CCP spy ballon.
Hmmm? Could I get some of what I (we) paid for? I’d like some of them multi round bullets that go 5x the speed of sound. Or was it light...........
All our munitions are being spent by green untrained conscripts “in order”.
Germany has two days of ammunition left and only a handful of operational fighter planes, they are tissue paper. They are inviting invasion.
“The sooner Russia finishes off Ukraine the better.”
The weapons were put there to be used mainly against Russia and right now they need to be used. What better way is to let Ukraine use them instead of us. Russia is still the same backwards, vicious, brutal and aggressive society it has always been.
Will this give Ukraine the ability to shoot down balloons?
Just send some balloons over there. Evidently they are impossible to shoot down
And Ukraine is just Russia…in drag
I think it’s that NeoCons don’t want to have yet another foreign policy disaster on their hands. They will bankrupt America and get every Ukrainian killed before they admit defeat.
Germans are beginning to have a dialog about who might have maliciously destroyed the pipelines that were providing Europe with a continental supply of gas.
What would be good to see is you getting your sorry neocon ass to Ukraine and putting your life on the line rather than asking the rest of us to waste money on a war that has absolutely nothing to do with our national security.
At least you made some comments about the spy balloon your buddy Biden has let float over the USA.
Unlike your cohorts who have not made any comments about it.
If Montana had a Ukraine flag Biden would order US defenses to blast the Chinese balloon out of the sky.
