The United States announced a new $400 million package of military aid for Ukraine on May 10, as Kyiv struggles to hold off advances by Russian troops in the northeast Kharkiv region. This is the third tranche of aid for Ukraine since Congress passed supplemental funding in late April after months of gridlock. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy had warned a day earlier that his country was facing “a really difficult situation” in the east but said a new supply of U.S. weapons was coming and “we will be able to stop them.” To read the original story by AP, click here.
