The United States is sending another $300 million to Ukraine to help the embattled nation meet its “critical security and defense needs” amid Russia’s ongoing invasion, the Department of Defense (DOD) announced on May 3.

The additional military aid includes ammunition for U.S.-provided High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), which will grant enhanced capabilities to Ukrainian soldiers, 155 mm Howitzers and artillery rounds; mortar rounds, and tube-launched, optically-tracked, wire-guided (TOW) missiles; as well as Carl Gustaf anti-tank rifles.
