KYIV, May 15 — Ukraine has deployed many of its new US M-777 howitzers at the front lines and Washington has delivered all but one of the 90 artillery pieces they were due to send, the US embassy in Kyiv said today.
The M-777 howitzer consignment is part of a huge outlay of weapons from Washington to help Ukraine fend off Russia’s invasion, which began on Feb. 24. The M-777 is seen as particularly significant because of its long range and accuracy.“M-777 Howitzers in action. Part of the United States’ most recent US$800 million care package for the Ukrainian Armed Forces,” it tweeted.
“All but one of the 90 Howitzers sent by the United States are now in Ukraine, many now deployed on the front lines,” it said. — Reuters
