The United States has announced a new military aid package of approximately $225 million for Ukraine, which includes ammunition to bolster Kyiv's defense capabilities against Russian threats. The aid comprises munitions for the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), mortar systems, and various artillery rounds. This assistance allows Ukraine to strike threats inside Russia, specifically to defend the city of Kharkiv from ongoing Russian assaults.
Under the new directive, Ukraine is permitted to use these weapons to target Russian forces if they are attacking or preparing to attack. However, the policy still prohibits the use of American-provided ATACMS or long-range missiles for offensive strikes inside Russia.
