The United States will continue to supply Ukraine with billions of dollars in munitions and equipment as the eastern European nation’s counteroffensive against Russia stalls.

U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said that Ukraine was making progress in its operations against Russia in eastern Ukraine.
