Ukraine receives second weapons shipment from US
Ukraine has received a second weapons supply shipment from the United States amid the looming threat of a potential Russian invasion.
"The second bird in Kyiv! More than 80 tons of weapons to strengthen Ukraine's defense capabilities from our friends in the USA! And this is not the end," Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov said in a tweet Sunday.
The first shipment of security assistance from the US had arrived in Ukraine on Friday. That shipment included "close to 200,000 pounds of lethal aid, including ammunition for the front line defenders of Ukraine," the US Embassy in Kyiv tweeted Friday night.
The shipments come as the US has sought to convince Moscow to de-escalate the situation at the Ukrainian border, where Russia has amassed more than 100,000 troops.

Ukraine receives second batch of weapons from US: 'And this is not the end'
Ukraine has received a second shipment of weapons from the United States as part of $200 million in defensive aid promised amid fears of a Russian invasion.
"The second bird in Kyiv! More than 80 tons of weapons to strengthen Ukraine's defense capabilities from our friends in the USA! And this is not the end," Ukraine's Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov said in a tweet on Sunday.
While the U.S. and its allies have warned for weeks that Russia is moving closer to a military attack against Ukraine, as it has amassed 100,000 troops along the border, Moscow has denied having plans to invade.
Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle have pressed the Biden administration to quickly send additional military aid to Ukraine.
