U.S. military aid is reaching Ukraine as that nation's military strives to blunt Russian attacks in the Kharkiv region, said Sabrina Singh, deputy Pentagon press secretary.
The Russian attacks on Kharkiv — Ukraine's second-largest city — were not unexpected, Singh said today, and Ukrainian service members are fighting furiously to blunt the Russian incursions.
U.S. systems are again reaching Ukrainian service members after Congress approved a budget supplemental aid package on April 24. President Joe Biden announced a $1 billion assistance package at that time to meet Ukraine's critical security needs. On Friday, the United States announced another tranche of $400 million in aid.
The most recent package provides military capabilities to support Ukraine's most urgent battlefield requirements, including air defense, artillery rounds, armored vehicles and antitank weapons, Singh said.
The Russian attacks in the Kharkiv region have made some gains. "We know that they've intensified some of those cross-border fires, and they'll likely, in the coming weeks, increase that," she said. "That's why we're doing everything we can to make sure Ukraine has what it needs."

But Biden will cut off the aid if any civilians are harmed, right?
Oops.
Wrong country.
US foreign policy is *not* to help “our guys” win wars. It is keeping profitable wars going.
Mike Johnson sending it into the Russian grinder who wins from all this Mike?
Why aren’t there imbedded reporters broadcasting from the Ukrainian front lines??
Maybe there are, the 2 countries in the war might have some reporters at the front like America does when we are in a war, I assume most country’s media are like that.
Where is the regular footage??
Biggest European war since WWII and no coverage being aired?
You're not seeing it much on the news because it makes Joe Biden look bad.
I don’t have TV so I have zero idea of what shows, I don’t even know if television bothers covering much of most foreign wars or any, except for some of what goes on in Israel.
