Pentagon sending Ukraine these weapons in $2B package on war's 1-year mark

The Department of Defense has announced another $2 billion in defense spending for Ukraine. 

The financial aid comes in the form of a security assistance package that will build on previous aid supplied to the war-torn Eastern European country.

In a Friday statement, the Pentagon outlined the armaments being provided in the new package, including 155 mm artillery ammunition, mine clearing equipment, rocket system munitions, electronic warfare detection equipment, High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems ammunition, and more.

Ukraine's latest gift from the U.S. was announced on the one-year anniversary of the Russian invasion — a solemn occasion noted by DOD officials.

"Today’s solemn anniversary is an opportunity for all who believe in freedom, rules, and sovereignty to recommit ourselves to supporting Ukraine’s brave defenders for the long haul— and to recall that the stakes of Russia’s war stretch far beyond Ukraine," said Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin III.
