BBC World Service - BBC OS, New military aid for Ukraine

The US will provide Ukraine with its largest single military aid package

The US will provide Ukraine with its largest single military aid package.

Six months after the start of the war in Ukraine, President Biden has announced the single biggest military aid package to the country, worth nearly three billion dollars. We get more details from our correspondent in Washington. 

We hear from three women who have family members - one a prisoner of war - serving on the frontline. We also play more messages from Ukrainians about how the past six months have been for them and where they found themselves now.

We look at how the six months of war is being reported in Russia, and our Security Correspondent gives a military assessment of where things currently stand in the war.
