US Resumes Military Aid to Ukraine Amidst Conflict

The US has resumed military supplies to Ukraine after a brief halt, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The supplies include Patriot air defence systems, which are crucial in defending against Russian aerial attacks. The US and its Nato allies are working together to provide Ukraine with the necessary defence systems, with Germany and Norway pledging to pay for some of the Patriots. The move comes amid escalating Russian drone and missile attacks on Ukrainian cities, resulting in record civilian casualties.

The US has resumed sending weapons to Ukraine after a brief pause, but the shipments are not arriving quickly enough to stop Russia's ongoing drone and missile strikes. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has urged world leaders to provide more support, calling for a Marshall Plan to rebuild Ukraine and using Russia's frozen assets to aid in the country's recovery. Zelenskyy met with Keith Kellogg, President Trump's special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, to discuss additional US support, including more weapons deliveries and harsher sanctions against Russia. Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to discuss potential new approaches to ending the conflict.

South Korea has become a significant arms supplier to US allies, with Poland being its largest customer. Poland has finalized a deal to acquire 180 South Korean K2 tanks worth $6.7 billion, bringing its total to nearly 1,000 armored vehicles. The deal highlights Poland's emergence as a major European military force and South Korea's growing status as a key arms supplier. The sales are driven by the ongoing wars in Ukraine and Gaza, which have depleted US military stockpiles. Poland's defense spending has increased significantly since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and it is seen as part of NATO's first line of defense. South Korea's arms industry is expected to play a crucial role in supporting US allies and potentially the US itself in the future.
