The United States has been preparing ammunition deliveries to Ukraine for some time, and now those shipments are finally on their way via Poland and the US Army’s logistics centers in Germany. The US Department of Defense has prepared for this moment for months, and Ukraine has been waiting eagerly.
Ukraine’s troops have been under heavy artillery attack from Russian forces on the eastern front, and they have been barely able to return fire due to a lack of ammunition. The new US aid package will provide much-needed relief, and it includes a new type of weapon that Ukraine has not had before: ATACMS artillery shells with a range of 300 kilometers.
These shells will allow Ukraine to target Russian command structures and ammunition and weapons depots more effectively. They will also be able to target the Kerch Bridge, which connects Russia to Crimea. This could be a major blow to Russia’s supply lines in the south.
The US aid package is a significant step forward in the fight against Russia. It will give Ukraine the tools it needs to defend itself and to push back against Russian aggression. The US and its allies must continue to support Ukraine in its fight for freedom and independence.
