US pledges $1.2 billion in military aid for Ukraine to counter Russian attacks

The US will provide $1.2 billion in military aid to help Ukraine defend itself against Russia.
The aid package includes air defense systems, ammunition, training funds, and equipment to integrate Ukraine's air defenses.
The aid is meant to strengthen Ukraine's ability to protect its territory in the face of Russian aggression.
The new aid package comes after the US has already provided $5 billion in security assistance to Ukraine this fiscal year.
Though approved, the latest aid package could take weeks to deliver as the materials are procured and prepared for shipment.
