Does anyone know if any promised new weapons have arrived in Ukraine?

- the $350 million in American aid
- Canadian aid
- Australian aid
- German aid
- the 70 or so new fighter jets
- the $500 MILLION from the EU

Has anything actually been given to the Ukrainians?

Ukraine’s Center for Strategic Communications and Information Security said 56 MiG-29 fighter jets and 14 Su-25 aircraft are being supplied by Bulgaria, Poland and Slovakia.
The Defense Ministry said the aircraft will be based on Polish airfields, “from which Ukrainian pilots will perform combat missions.”

7. I'm glad they're getting some SU-25s.

It's a close air support aircraft that in some ways has advantages over the A-10.

5. Weapons have been flowing, to some degree the west is just going public and providing specifics by

country to demonstrate commitment and skin in the game. It's been lower profile until now.

He was talking about weapons such as anti-tank arms.
