Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy has thanked the United States for its latest $725 million aid package. He said he was very pleased with the rounds for the HIMARS truck-mounted rocket system.
America has now donated more than $17.5bn (£15.6m) in aid since the war started in February.
Separately, Ukraine also expects the US and Germany to deliver anti-aircraft systems this month to help it counter Russian missile and drone attacks, defence minister Oleksiy Reznikov said on Friday.
Sincerely grateful to @POTUS, the 🇺🇸 people for providing another $725 mln security aid package. We will receive, in particular, much-needed rounds for HIMARS and artillery. A wonderful gift for 🇺🇦 Defenders’ Day! The Russian aggressor will be defeated, 🇺🇦 will be free!
