U.S. and Lithuania Announce New Aid to Ukraine

Lithuania and the United States have both announced new military aid packages for Ukraine ahead of its Independence Day. Lithuanian Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė confirmed Lithuania will send air defense systems, missiles, and drones, along with €35 million for radar and mine detection equipment. Meanwhile, U.S. President Joe Biden unveiled a $125 million aid package that includes HIMARS munitions, air-defense missiles, and anti-armor weapons. This aid comes as Ukraine continues its counteroffensive, including incursions into Russia’s Kursk region. Both leaders reaffirmed their unwavering support for Ukraine's sovereignty and defense against Russian aggression. The U.S. also imposed sanctions on over 400 entities and individuals supporting Russia's war effort.
