Ukrainian officials beg for more military might

The United States is all but set to deliver further military aid to Ukraine, as the nation continues to stand up to Russian aggression

The expected announcements of weapons follow a meeting of nearly 50 other nations in Brussels on Wednesday.

As western leaders meet to discuss the best steps forward when it comes to supporting the war-torn country, Ukrainian officials warn Russia is gaining ground.

This is particularly true in the Donbas region in the east which has witnessed the heaviest fighting in recent weeks.

Ukraine says without an influx of more weapons, it will be increasingly difficult to halt Russia’s increasing stronghold of the area.

In June, the Biden administration announced a wide-sweeping weapons package including an Artillery Rocket System and missiles, all of which Kyiv had been urgently requesting.

But this system requires three weeks of training and, as such, has not been put to use yet.

A senior U.S. official told CNN the U.S. and it allies still have a significant amount of equipment available to send to Ukraine.
