Americans are spending $61B on Ukraine's war effort. What will it get them?

Matthew Savill, director of military sciences at the Royal United Services Institute, a think-tank, said Ukraine's immediate priority would likely be artillery — both ammunition and the guns — as well as air defence systems and missiles to replenish stocks depleted by recent Russian airstrikes. That stands to improve the balance "between Russian and Ukrainian forces this year and into next year," Savill told CBC News. "In essence, this this is largely a defensive package." With it, the Ukrainians need to "blunt Russian attacks" this year, he said, compelling them to "make enormous expenditure for relatively little gain."
