WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The U.S. is sending Ukraine about $300 million in additional military aid, including an enormous amount of artillery rounds, howitzers<\/a>, air-to-ground rockets and ammunition as the launch of a spring offensive against Russian forces<\/a> app<\/a>roaches, the Pentagon said Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The new package includes Hydra-70 rockets, which are unguided rockets that are fired from aircraft. It also includes an undisclosed number of rockets for the High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, or HIMARS, mortars, howitzer rounds<\/a>, missiles and Carl Gustaf anti\u2014tank rifles. The weapons will all be pulled from Pentagon stocks, so they can go quickly to the front lines.<\/p>\n

The latest shipment comes as Ukrainian officials say they are readying a counteroffensive \u2014 with Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov declaring they are in the \u201chome stretch,<\/a> when we can say: \u2018Yes everything is ready.\u2019\u201d Ukrainian officials have said they are stockpiling ammunition to stow it along potentially long supply lines.<\/p>\n

Reznikov said Monday that the key things for the assault\u2019s success would be \u201cthe availability of weapons; prepared, trained people; our defenders and defenders who know their plan at their level, as well as providing this offensive with all the necessary things \u2014 shells, ammunition, fuel, protection, etc.\u201d<\/p>\n

The U.S. in recent months has declined to say exactly how much materiel will be sent to Ukraine, but the latest package resembles other previous deliveries<\/a>. It includes trucks, trailers, spare parts and other maintenance assistance.<\/p>\n

This is the 37th package of Pentagon stocks to go to Ukraine since the war began in February 2022, and it brings the total U.S. military aid to about $36 billion.<\/p>\n

Officials have said the weapons and other equipment will help as Ukraine prepares to shift from what has been a long and bloody winter stalemate, focused on heavy fighting in Ukraine\u2019s east, particularly around the town of Bakhmut in the Donetsk province.<\/p>\n

The General<\/a> Staff of Ukraine\u2019s armed forces said Russia was continuing to concentrate its efforts on offensive operations in Ukraine\u2019s industrial east, focusing attacks around Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka and Marinka.<\/p>\n
