The United States transports 89 M777 howitzers to Ukraine

The United States announced the completion of the transfer of a batch of 155 mm M777 howitzers to Ukraine.

This is part of an $800 million aid package for the Ukrainian armed forces, the US diplomatic mission in Kyiv said in a statement. All but one of the 90 howitzers sent by the United States are now in Ukraine, and several of them have already been deployed to the front lines.

Earlier, Senator Rand Paul from the US state of Kentucky single-handedly prevented in Congress the adoption of a bill on the allocation of aid to Ukraine in the amount of nearly $40 billion.

The senator explained his rejection of the high risks of massive public spending, public debt, and inflation.
