The Reference News Network quoted the Associated Press as reporting that the White House announced on August 9 that the United States will provide Ukraine with a new round of weapons worth US$125 million to assist its military operations against Russia, including much-needed air defense capabilities, radars to detect and counter enemy artillery, and anti-tank weapons.

John Kirby, strategic communications coordinator for the White House National Security Council, said Ukraine's use of U.S.-supplied weapons in its offensive was consistent with U.S. government policy.

The report said that the weapons in the latest US military aid plan for Ukraine will be drawn from the existing US arms inventory, including "Sting"Surface-to-air missiles, 155mm and 105mm caliber shells, "Himas”Rocket Launcherammunition and vehicles, etc. This brings the total US aid to Ukraine since 2022 to $55.6 billion.

Just as the United States announced its latest package of military aid to Ukraine, on the 6th, the Ukrainian army launched an offensive on Kursk Oblast in Russia. Reports said this was the largest cross-border attack launched by Ukraine since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict in February 2022. The attack prompted Russia to declare a state of emergency in the state and send reinforcements there.
