US calls for weapons as Russia grinds Ukraine down

Al Jazeera  

Ukraine’s army is holding out against a better equipped Russian invader but Washington warns time is not on its side. He spoke of “the tremendous demand that we’re facing for munitions and weapons platforms and giving our staunch support to Ukraine, while also meeting our own requirements and those of our allies and partners”. Before their three-hour meeting, Ukraine drew up a list of weapons Ukraine needs, including anti-missile systems, anti-aircraft systems, armoured vehicles and tanks, Zelenskyy aide Igor Zhovkva told NBC News. The United States alone has provided 10 anti-armour systems for every one Russian tank that’s in Ukraine – a 10 to one ratio,” Biden said. The two packages brought Ukraine 90 howitzers along with 183,000 shells, and 120 Phoenix Ghost Tactical Unmanned Aerial systems – drones the US air force developed “in response, specifically, to Ukraine’s needs”, according to Pentagon spokesman John Kirby.
