Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has announced more U.S. aid for Ukraine just days after the country was hit by one of the deadliest airstrikes since Russia’s invasion in early 2022. On Tuesday, a pair of Russian missiles struck a military academy and hospital in the central Ukrainian city of Poltava, killing at least 51 people and injuring more than 270. “The sense … is that the U.S. is giving Ukraine enough so that it doesn’t lose, but not enough so that it can actually make significant and needed gains,” says award-winning journalist Arwa Damon, who is in ... continua
