Newly released satellite imagery shows a new Russian military compound in Mariupol, Ukraine, complete with a Russian Army slogan atop the roof, according to Maxar Technologies.
According to Maxar, the military compound is in the north-center of the city. The company released the images Friday, along with images taken in March 2022 of the same areas in Mariupol, which show the damage from airstrikes and artillery bombardments during the Russian invasion.
In comments at the Reagan National Defense Forum in California on Saturday, U.S. Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines said Russia is burning through its munitions stockpiles at an “extraordinary rate.”
The Pentagon announced a new aid package on Nov. 23 to help Ukraine defend itself against Russia, the U.S. military’s 26th such package for Ukraine since August 2021. It will include up to $400 million in ammunition, weapons, and supplies.
The mission is a follow-on to a Space Systems Command contract Northrop received last year to develop a tanker satellite called GAS-T.
