Ukraine to Receive U.S. Missiles and HIMARS Under New Funding
Ukraine is getting a shipment of weapons from the U.S., including missiles and rocket launchers.
This is the first delivery under a new system where Ukraine's allies are helping to pay for the weapons.
The first part of this funding is around $1 billion, with more expected.
The weapons are being sent using a NATO-led plan called PURL.
These weapons are important for Ukraine to defend itself, especially as Russia is expected to target its energy infrastructure this winter.
This move marks a shift in how the U.S. is providing arms to Ukraine.
Ukraine will receive missiles and HIMARS under a new funding program.
The first batch of weapons is funded through the Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List (PURL).
Over $2 billion in funding for U.S.-produced weapons has been secured.
The U.S. is sending the weapons through PURL to help European allies fund them.
Donald Trump has been critical of the U.S. spending on military aid to Ukraine.
