The Pentagon will provide Ukraine with $200 million in weapons and ammunition to help sustain Kyiv’s counteroffensive as troops on the front lines face significant hurdles against a well-entrenched Russian defense, according to two U.S. officials.
This latest package will include missiles for the High-Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) and the Patriot air defense system, munitions for howitzers and tanks, Javelin rockets, mine-clearing equipment, 12 million rounds of small arms ammunition and demolition munitions, said a U.S. official. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the aid has not yet been publicly announced.

Ukraine is a pivotal spot between the free world and Russia. The loss of Ukraine could mean a major change in the world, not just our little piece of it. Ukraine is taking beating but has not lost yet, with supplies, we can give them a chance to hold out.

For those who claim this is a "waste", this is military aid. 155mm rounds helps Ukraine fight back against a Russian invader.

Gen. Jack Keane: Biden admin doesn't want Putin to lose
Fox News senior strategic analyst provides insight on the Ukraine-Russia war on 'The Story.' #FoxNewsSubscribe to Fox News! https://bit.ly/2vaBUvASWatch more...
I wonder if production will ever keep up with demand? I remember hearing a Navy report that if we got into a shooting war with China over taiwan, we would run out of torpedoes and other Navy ordanance within the week.
Our silly goofball president wants to get rid of fossil fuels and he says that climate change is the biggest existential threat. I move that we design a second or third tank Factory. I was reading yesterday that 30 or 40 tanks promised to Ukraine is cutting into the tank order that Taiwan put in a whole year before the war started. Taiwan just got two tanks last July yet we can't keep up with the demand and I bet you our NATO allies are out of ammunition in case they had to fight with us in the European theater.
Ukraine needs to win but President Biden lost valuable time because here's an old reporter at the beginning of the war from retired four-star Army General Jack Keane.

This is an old video but still President Biden took his sweet time.
