The United States will provide Kyiv with a new military package worth up to $500 million, the Pentagon said on June 27. The package contains ground vehicles, including Bradley fighting vehicles and Stryker armored personnel carriers, to support Ukraine’s counteroffensive and other equipment to “help Ukraine push back on Russia's war of aggression,” the Pentagon said.
