The U.S. will send Ukraine an undisclosed number of medium-range cluster bombs and an array of rockets, artillery and armored vehicles in a military aid package totaling about $375 million, U.S. officials said Tuesday.

Officials expect an announcement on Wednesday, as global leaders meet at the U.N. General Assembly, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy uses his appearance there to shore up support and persuade the U.S. to allow his troops to use long-range weapon s to strike deeper into Russia. The following day, Zelenskyy meets with President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in Washington.

    Ukraine can’t win without Western troops.

    It’s that simple.

      They are doing very well even without them right now (especially against the supposedly second army in the world). What they need is more weapons.

        They are doing very well

        Its crazy to see people double down on this line two years into the conflict.

        Nobody is doing well. This is a war of attrition that’s ruining Ukraine’s interior, devastating its population, and obliterating its economy. The absolute best thing you can say about the conflict is that Russians are also losing lots of blood. But that puts the terms of “victory” entirely within the scope of “How many dead Russians have we produced?” rather than “How much of Ukraine is there left to save?”

        What they need is more weapons.

        Who is going to be using them?

          And yet they choose to continue. As is their right.

          I hope everyone here will continue to support aid to Ukraine long after they drive the Russians out. While nothing can correct the horrors of war, we can help rebuild at least some of what they’ve lost

          Who is going to use them?

          You think himars and long range missiles are needing to use up hundreds of Ukrainians to be fired?

          But whatever, you’re arguing for a “peace plan” I guess. Where Ukraine cannot enter NATO nor get back the invaded land, right?
