U.S. Announces $2 Billion Military Aid Package for Ukraine to Counter Russian Aggression

The Pentagon announced a $2.1 billion military aid package for Ukraine focused on air defense and ammunition to support its counteroffensive against Russia.
The aid includes missiles for Patriot air defense systems and HAWK short-range air defense systems, artillery rounds, and laser-guided rockets.
Russia has built trenches, minefields and concrete barriers to stop Ukraine's counteroffensive, but Ukraine can overcome them due to Russia's poor performance.
The funds will be used to purchase weapons and systems from U.S. companies, with delivery depending on availability and production timelines.
The aid package aims to help Ukraine purchase Hawk missile launchers and two types of advanced Patriot air defense missiles.
