How the US is helping Ukraine fight Russia

The U.S. has contributed over $1 billion to help Ukraine’s military over the past year and has pledged more aid as Russia’s week-long war against the country continues.

Washington has reportedly sent hundreds of stinger missiles as part of the latest package of defensive aid, while the White House on Wednesday asked Congress to authorize an additional $10 billion in security, humanitarian, and economic assistance for Ukraine.

But as the war presses on, the U.S will have to change its strategy on how to get that aid to Ukraine, as well as evaluate how to help Ukraine survive a longer-term conflict through security and humanitarian aid.
