The DOD (Department of Defense) reportedly claimed that sending a steady stream of weapons and ammo to Ukraine will help troops make gains against Russian forces. Reports also mentioned that this shipment puts the amount of aid that the US has sent to Ukraine over $10.5 billion. This comes as the six-month mark of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is approaching.
