The Pentagon has announced a new $1.2 billion security assistance package for Ukraine as Russian attacks on civilian infrastructure continue to intensify. The latest shipment is aimed at strengthening Kyiv’s air defenses and replenishing artillery supplies, according to the Reuters report.

The package reflects Washington’s continued support for Ukraine as it faces sustained pressure on the battlefield and repeated strikes that have damaged homes, energy facilities, and other civilian targets. Officials said the assistance is intended to help Ukraine defend its territory and protect its population.

Air defense remains a critical priority for Kyiv, especially as Russian forces keep targeting infrastructure that supports daily life. The new aid is part of broader US efforts to provide military backing while Ukraine seeks to blunt incoming missiles, drones, and artillery fire.

The announcement comes amid a war that has exacted a heavy toll on civilians, underscoring the urgency of international support and the need for accountability over attacks on non-military sites.
