The Guardian
|December 04, 2024

The newly announced $725m (£572m) in assistance will include Stinger air-defense missiles, anti-drone weapons, artillery shells and long-range Himars rocket munitions, as well as spare parts and other assistance to repair damaged equipment, the state department said.
Ukraine is desperately seeking to stabilize its frontlines in both the east of the country, where Russia has made grinding progress toward the crucial logistics town of Pokrovsk, as well in the Kursk region of Russia, where Ukrainian forces are bracing themselves for an assault by Russian and North Korean troops.
