US approves more military aid to Ukraine

The United States will send more weapons and ammunition to Ukraine. US President Joe Biden announced an additional $800 million in military assistance to Ukraine on Wednesday, expanding the scope of the systems provided to include heavy artillery ahead of a wider Russian assault expected in eastern Ukraine.

Meanwhile a Russian warship in the Black Sea was "seriously damaged" as a result of a fire that detonated stored ammunition, Russia's defense ministry said. The ministry said the cause of the fire was being determined and that the crew had been evacuated.
