A new ground-launched, bomb-tipped rocket to be ordered from Boeing Co. will be part of the latest package of US arms for Ukraine that will be announced Friday by the White House and Pentagon, officials said.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said his forces can’t be defeated “on the battlefield.” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said that Moscow’s offensive is intensifying with the approach of Feb. 24, the invasion’s one-year mark, urging allies to “increase global pressure” on Moscow.
