USA green-lights depleted uranium for Kyiv; Moscow calls it 'an indicator of inhumanity'

Yesterday, the Pentagon announced a new security assistance package worth up to $175 million for Ukraine, including depleted uranium ammunition for M1 Abrams tanks the US plans to deliver to Ukraine this fall.

It is the first time the US will be sending the controversial armour-piercing munitions to Kyiv.

The Pentagon said the military aid would also include anti-armour systems, tactical air navigation systems and additional ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems …or the HIMARS.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced new aid for Ukraine in a visit to Kyiv, including about $665m in new military and civilian security assistance, as he hailed the months-long counteroffensive against the Russian forces in the country’s southeast.

Putin’s Scare in The U.S? Zelensky Left Empty-Handed as Pentagon Denies Ukraine’s Missile Request

In a stunning turn of events, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s latest plea for advanced missile systems was rejected by the Pentagon, leaving Kiev empty-handed in its bid to counter Russia's ongoing military offensive. Despite Zelensky’s urgent request for long-range missiles to boost Ukraine's defenses, U.S. defense officials have opted to prioritize established international buyers over Ukraine, signaling a potential shift in Washington's support strategy. The denial comes as a major blow to Zelensky, who had banked on securing vital military aid to bolster his nation’s resistance against Russia. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin has seized the moment to mock Zelensky’s failed attempt, casting doubt on Ukraine’s future prospects in the conflict and sending ripples across the geopolitical landscape. #PutinScare #Zelensky #PentagonRejection #UkraineMissileRequest #USPolicyShift #UkraineDefense #MilitaryAid #USUkraineRelations #RussiaUkraineWar #USSupportForUkraine #PutinMocksZelensky #PentagonDecision #UkraineMissileDenial #GeopoliticalTensions #UkraineStruggles ~HT.97~PR.152~ED.194~GR.121~
