US announces new Ukraine weapons package

The US has announced it will send Ukraine $US725 million of missiles, ammunition, anti-personnel mines and other weapons, ahead of Donald Trump’s return to the White House. The new weapons package is set to help the country's war against Russia which has allocated around $US126 billion in its new defence budget. The package comes amid speculation about what Trump’s new administration will mean for Ukraine as the President-elect has promised to end the conflict.
