US announces new $600m arms package for Ukraine

The aid is expected to contain munitions including HIMARS ammunition and funding for military education and training

The Biden administration announced a new $600m arms package to help the Ukrainian military battle Russia, as the US rushes more weapons to fuel Kyiv's successful counteroffensive in the country's east.

The package will include more of the same types of ammunition and equipment that have helped Ukrainian forces beat back the Russian forces in portions of the east and south.
