Pentagon Sending Ukraine Another Weapons Shipment

(Arlington, VA) — The Pentagon is sending Ukraine another big weapons shipment. Spokesman John Kirby said the 100-million dollar shipment includes Howitzers, artillery components and tactical vehicles. The U.S. has sent Ukraine roughly four-billion dollars’ worth of arms and equipment since the start of Russia’s invasion in late February–and more in other kinds of aid. Kirby was pressed on efforts by Finland and Sweden to join NATO. He said the U.S. has conducted a number of joint operations with Finnish and Swedish militaries. Kirby called them very modern and capable militaries.
