Ukraine's Zelenskiy says new US security assistance comes at critical moment

KYIV, Dec 30 (Reuters) - President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Monday that $2.5 billion in additional U.S. security assistance for Ukraine came at a critical moment and would help strengthen Ukrainian defences along the frontlines.

"Every act of solidarity from our partners saves lives, strengthens our independence, and reinforces our resilience. It also demonstrates that democracies are stronger than autocratic aggressors," Zelenskiy said in a post on X.
