New US aid ensures Ukraine ‘can stay in the fight’

Warsaw: Ukraine’s tired and weary armed forces have had their best week in months, not on the muddy battlefields of the Donbass but in the corridors of power in Washington.

At the very least, it will keep Ukraine in the fight. President Joe Biden signed the bill into law Thursday, saying the weapons would begin arriving in Ukraine “within hours.”

As Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said: They can’t come soon enough.

In recent months, the tide has turned decisively against the Ukrainians on the battlefield, as they have been forced to conserve artillery and air defense ammunition as kyiv’s reserves dwindled.
