The U.S. will announce $3 billion more in arms for Ukraine on Wednesday, when the country will mark a tense Independence Day and six months since Russia’s invasion, according to a US official.
US diplomats warned that Russia is preparing intensified attacks on Ukraine’s civilian infrastructure and government facilities in coming days, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has said the Kremlin may attempt a “particularly cruel” assault.
