The United States has announced $3 billion dollars in military assistance for Ukraine. White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre said the assistance is expected to include Bradley infantry fighting vehicles and other personnel carriers along with self-propelled howitzers. The announcement by Jean-Pierre comes a day after Washington and Berlin said they would provide armored vehicles -- Bradleys from the United States and Marders from Germany -- but did not provide details on numbers. The Pentagon was expected to provide further information about the latest aid package later on January 6. To read the original story by AFP, click here.
