US to send $820 million in additional military aid to Kyiv, including counter-artillery radars

Описание: The US is sending an additional 820-million dollars worth of military aid to Kyiv as Russian forces tighten their grip in eastern Ukraine.

The Pentagon announced the new assistance package on Friday, including two surface-to-air missile systems and four counter-artillery radars. The decision comes after Ukraine said Russian shelling hit a shopping mall in the central part of the country on Monday, killing over a dozen people. But Russia has denied Ukraine's account. So far, Washington has committed about six-point-nine billion dollars in aid to Kyiv since the conflict with Russia began in February.
