US, UK Unveil A Combined $2BN More In Ukraine Security Aid, Including “Offensive” Weapons

During his Thursday news conference at the Madrid NATO summit, President Biden announced yet more Ukraine security aid – this time to the tune of $800 million in the next round of security assistance. But what stood out compared to prior announcements of aid is that this includes some “offensive” weapons, in addition to air defense systems, which is a significant upgrade in terms of heavier and more sophisticated hardware compared to things like Javelin anti-tank missiles given early in the conflict (and prior to it).
