The United States is providing Ukraine with “more advanced rocket systems and munitions” as Russia’s invasion continues, President Joe Biden said on May 31.

Writing in a New York Times opinion piece, Biden said that America’s goal in Ukraine was “to see a democratic, independent, sovereign and prosperous Ukraine with the means to deter and defend itself against further aggression.”
