The White House said the United States will provide another $725 million in weapons and other military aid to Ukraine. The United States made the announcement after Russian missile attacks on Kiev and other places this week. Washington has sought more help from European allies. Al-Jazeera news.
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said in a statement on Friday that the assistance will be given in the wake of Russia's violent missile attacks across Ukraine.

Washington's new military package includes more ammunition for the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMERS). The U.S. Department of Defense said in a separate statement that $11.83 billion in U.S. military aid has reached Ukraine since the start of Joe Biden's administration.
The US has given 20 Hummers to Ukraine. It has promised to provide 18 more such in the coming years. Himmers proved to be powerful weapons. This undermines Russia's military supply capabilities. Hummers can hit Russian arsenals, bridges and other targets.
Government officials say the new U.S. package contains tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition that Ukraine could use in a counterattack against Russia. The Russia-Ukraine war has been going on for eight months.
The US Department of Defense says in a statement that Ukraine's air defense system is urgently needed. The statement also said that Russia has launched hundreds of rocket attacks on Ukrainian cities. Ukrainian forces have shown some success in shooting down missiles fired by Russia. However, their defense capabilities need to be further enhanced.
