US ‘lethal’ aid starts arriving in Ukraine

US military aid to help Ukraine defend against a possible invasion by Russia has began arriving on Friday night, as per American Embassy in Kyiv. The embassy, in a Twitter post, said the material “includes close to 200,000 pounds of lethal aid, including ammunition for the frontline defenders of Ukraine.” “The shipment — and $2.7 billion since 2014 — demonstrates U.S. commitment to helping Ukraine bolster its defenses in the face of growing Russian aggression,” the embassy said in another tweet.
