White House to send new $300m weapons package to Ukraine

The US will send $300m (£234m) in military weapons to Ukraine, including ammunition, rockets and anti-aircraft missiles, the White House has said.

The surprise announcement comes as a bill in Congress to send further aid to Ukraine stalls amid partisan debate.

The US shipment, the first in nearly three months, is intended to prevent Ukraine from losing ground to Russia.

National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said this aid "is nowhere near enough to meet Ukraine's battlefield needs".

"This ammunition will keep Ukraine's guns firing for a period, but only a short period," Mr Sullivan told reporters on Tuesday, adding that "it will not prevent Ukraine from running out of ammunition."

I'm always impressed at how technology has evolved enough to allow people as retarded as you to manage navigating the internet to type braindead shit like this

Lung is dumb as fuck, but can you not use 'retarded' as a slur in the year of our lord 2024??
