US to send $275 million in new weapons to Ukraine ahead of Trump administration
The U.S. will send Ukraine at least $275 million in new weapons, including air defense systems and artillery, as part of a push to support Kyiv against Russia. This aid comes just two months before President-elect Donald Trump takes office. The Pentagon's decision follows concerns about escalating conflict, especially after Ukraine launched missiles into Russia. U.S. officials noted that two of eight missiles were intercepted, hitting an ammunition site in Russia's Bryansk region. This new aid package will be delivered quickly through a program that allows the Pentagon to supply Ukraine directly from its stockpiles.
