Having sent some $56 billion to Ukraine since the war began on 24 February, the Biden administration has repeatedly promised it would do all it can to prop up the Ukrainian government and essentially fund its war with Russia until Russia is defeated and President Volodymyr Zelensky decides it is time to negotiate.
Despite the Western media calling the Russian invasion a failure, they now control over 20 percent of Ukraine. Yet, Zelensky refused to negotiate with Moscow and last week reiterated that he will not accept any peace deal if it means carving out some land for Russia.
Appearing on the Cartoon News Network (CNN), Zelensky said “Ukrainians are not ready to give away their land, to accept that these territories belong to Russia. This is our land… and we are intending to prove it.”
Following Zelensky’s statement that “United States are helping Ukraine, helping a lot, but it’s not enough in order to win,” President Joe Biden announced that he ordered an additional $400 million in new weaponry be sent to Kyiv, including four more High Mobility Aircraft Rocket System, or HIMARS.

Part of Biden’s package will include enhanced ammunition, which will help Ukrainians target Russian assets up to 50 miles away.

A Pentagon official told RT that Ukrainians have been successful in using these systems to strike “Russian locations in Ukraine, deeper behind the front lines, and disrupting Russia’s ability to conduct that artillery operation.”
Reports said U.S. troops have trained about 100 Ukrainians on how to use these systems and they will continue to train them at a location outside the country.
