US Increases Military Support for Ukraine

The United States is intensifying military support for Ukraine amidst ongoing conflict with Russia, recently approving the use of long-range missiles and anti-personnel land mines. President Biden's authorization comes as Ukraine's President Zelensky warns of potential defeat if U.S. aid is reduced, citing insufficient domestic production capabilities. U.S. officials have indicated that new aid packages, including air defense systems and artillery, will be announced soon, although only half of the already approved $175-177 billion in aid has reached Ukraine. Polish President Duda described the U.S. decision to permit Ukraine to strike deep into Russia as a potentially decisive moment in the war, contrasting it with Germany's reluctance to align its policy with the U.S. Amidst these developments, Ukrainian officials reiterate the crucial nature of U.S. support, regardless of the future U.S. presidential administration. The situation remains critical as Ukraine continues to defend against Russian advances.
