Washington Post: Pentagon expands use of seas to send weapons to Ukraine

 The US newspaper, , revealed that the Pentagon has expanded its use of maritime shipping to deliver weapons for the war in Ukraine, U.S. defense officials said, after relying heavily on aircraft early in Russia’s invasion to get arms to Kiev as quickly as possible.

The Defense Department began sending some items by sea a few weeks after the invasion but significantly broadened the effort this spring, as the United States began providing Ukraine with howitzer artillery and other heavy weapons that require a steady flow of large-caliber ammunition, U.S. defense officials said at the headquarters of U.S. Transportation Command, as Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks visited recently.
