The United States has announced a new $2.5 billion aid package to Ukraine. The package includes hundreds of armored vehicles and support for Ukrainian air defense.

Washington’s latest military aid package for Ukraine includes 59 Bradley combat vehicles and 90 Stryker armored personnel carriers, according to the US Department of Defense.

The latest aid also included ammunition for the HIMARS missile system, eight Avenger air defense systems, thousands of artillery shells, and additional ammunition for about 2,000 anti-tank missiles.

Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last February, the United States has provided the country with a total of $27.4 billion in security support.

Western allies have pledged billions of dollars worth of weapons to Ukraine. Ukraine is demanding more weapons from the West amid fears that the winter season could give Russian forces the opportunity to reorganize and launch a major offensive.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in his speech to the US Congress in Washington in December, said that Ukraine’s support is not “charity” but “an investment in democracy” and asked the US to continue its security support. .

On the other hand, a US official told Reuters that CIA director William Burns recently secretly visited Ukraine and met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The visit took place late last week, according to the Washington Post, which first reported on the matter. The report said Burns briefed Zelensky on his expectations for Russia’s future military plans. It was also noted that Burns stated that at some point it would be difficult to win the support of the United States.

Zelensky and senior intelligence officials discussed how long Ukraine can expect continued US and Western aid after Republicans narrowly won a majority in the US House of Representatives, citing The Washington Post sources.
