Ukraine has already deployed many of its new artillery systems, American M-777 howitzers, on the front lines, the US embassy in Kyiv said on Sunday.
The embassy reposted on Twitter a video of Ukraine’s soldiers training to use the weapons. “M-777 Howitzers in action. Part of the United States’ most recent $800 million care package for the Ukrainian Armed Forces,” it tweeted.
“All but one of the 90 Howitzers sent by the United States are now in Ukraine, many now deployed on the front lines,” the US embassy said.
The M-777 howitzer shipment is part of the US aid package to help Ukraine repel the Russian invasion that began on February 24. The M-777 is considered particularly important because of its long range and accuracy.
