Our top stories from international outlets this morning. The New York Times is reporting that the United States is sending another weapons package to Ukraine.

This one valued at $325 million, Pentagon officials said on Wednesday as the Biden administration moves to shore Ukrainian munitions and logistical supplies in advance of an expected counteroffensive.

The new package includes ammunition for high Mars rocket systems, artillery rounds, anti-armor weapon systems, and anti-tank mines.

Two weeks ago, the administration announced a $2.6 billion package that included munitions for Ukraine's air defense systems. The $325 million will provide weaponry from military stockpiles, officials said.

NATO Secretary General Yen Stoltenberg is in Ukraine today a NATO official confirmed visiting the country for the first time since Russia launched its full-scale invasion.

According to Politico, the surprise trip coming more than a year after the war began is highly sensitive and arrives at a time when Ukrainian officials are pushing the Western military alliance to give Kiev a clearer path to membership.

Ukraine's government formally requested accelerated a session to join NATO in September last year, but while NATO promised in 2008 that Ukraine will eventually become a member, most allies, including the United States, have been wary of creating a concrete pathway to the alliance for Kiev while war rages on.

The issue has fueled frustration and disagreements within the alliance. While all allies agree Ukraine cannot become part of NATO right now, some Eastern flank members are pushing for the alliance to give Kiev at least a symbolic gesture that it is moving closer to NATO.

The debate will likely intensify ahead of a NATO leader's summit scheduled for July.
