Overextended and exhausted, Ukrainian forces lack manpower and artillery against Russian forces willing to absorb staggering casualties.

U.S. officials say the Pentagon will send Ukraine at least $275 million in new weapons WASHINGTON — The Pentagon will send Ukraine at least $275 million in new weapons, U.S. officials said Tuesday, as the Biden administration rushes to do as much as it can to help Kyiv fight back against Russia before President-elect Donald Trump takes office.

Ukraine’s Ambassador to Australia Vasyl Myroshnychenko has expressed uncertainty over US support in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine following Donald Trump’s re-election.

Ukraine hit a Russian weapons arsenal with US-made ATACMS missiles that it fired across the border for the first time, according to two US officials, in a major escalation on the 1,000th day of war.

The attack came just days after President Biden gave Ukraine permission to use the weapons to strike targets inside Russia.
