U.S. pledges $350 million more aid to Ukraine, tells Russians, 'You do not deserve a pointless war'

Secretary of State Antony Blinken pledged more United States aid to Ukraine as it tries to fight off a Russian invasion.

Blinken authorized another $350 million in immediate assistance to help Ukraine “defend itself from Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified war.”

The U.S. assistance includes “anti-armor, small arms and various munitions, body armor and related equipment,” Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said in a release.

In addition to the monetary pledge to Ukraine, Blinken appealed to the people of Russia as that country’s despot leader, Vladimir Putin, attacks his neighboring land. “To the people of Russia: You deserve to live in peace and with dignity, just like Ukrainians. Just like people everywhere,” Blinken tweeted. “You do not deserve a pointless war with your neighbors, friends, and family in Ukraine. The people of Ukraine deserve to live in peace, as do you.”
