Yesterday, the Pentagon announced a new security assistance package worth up to $175 million for Ukraine, including depleted uranium ammunition for M1 Abrams tanks the US plans to deliver to Ukraine this fall. It is the first time the US will be sending the controversial armour-piercing munitions to Kyiv. The Pentagon said the military aid would also include anti-armour systems, tactical air navigation systems and additional ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems …or the HIMARS. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced new aid for Ukraine in a visit to Kyiv, including about $665m in new military and civilian security assistance, as he hailed the months-long counteroffensive against the Russian forces in the country’s southeast.
