Pentagon sends fresh $425M defense package as North Korean troops join Russia

The US Defense Department just rolled-out a brand-new military support package for Ukraine (worth about $425M) while reports show over 10‚000 North-Korean soldiers now fight alongside Russian forces

Last week Lloyd Austin visited Kyiv and promised quick support; now the Pentagon is following-through with much-needed equipment. The aid includes high-tech air-defense parts‚ various ammo types and anti-armor systems: this matches Ukraineʼs current battlefield needs

The package details show a well thought-out mix of defensive and counter-attack gear including NASAMS interceptors HIMARS munitions and 155mm artillery shells. Ground combat equipment — like armor-plated vehicles and tank-stopping weapons — makes up another key part of the delivery (which comes straight from US stockpiles)
