Ukraine claimed that more than a dozen Russian tanks were destroyed last week within a 24-hour period.
"We have led the world in providing security assistance—from the Javelins that halted the Russian tanks assaulting Kyiv, to the air defense systems that have intercepted Russian strikes against Ukraine's critical infrastructure, to the armored vehicles that Ukraine needs for the next phase of this conflict," said a White House statement marking the war's one-year anniversary.
"The security assistance package reaffirms the steadfast support of the United States for Ukraine by committing additional unmanned aerial systems and counter-UAS and electronic warfare detection equipment, as well as critical ammunition stocks for artillery and precision fires capabilities that will bolster Ukraine's ability to repel Russian aggression," Pentagon spokesman Brigadier General Pat Ryder said.
