It’s as yet unclear if this partial package will include the league scope Army Tactical rocket System, which can hit targets up to 190 miles away. Moscow has been informing the West that parts supply Ukraine with weapons utilized against Russian territory will be seen as direct participants in the war.

Ironically this fresh $400 million package has been announced the very same day that Russia has launched a rare, major cross-border offensive into the Kharkiv region, looking to establish a 'buffer zone' any 10km deep inside Ukraine territory, ostensibly to prevent cross-border shelling from harming Russian citizens and to more easy interact threes like drones.

Even if the Ukraine War ended tomorrow, it would take over 5 years to respond our stockpiles of artillery shells, Javelins and Stingers. But Biden sees no tradeoffs between helping Ukraine and Israel. And he wants to rattle the saber against China while he’s at it. pic.twitter.com/4xv0aNQWLi
