Why Does the U.S. Arm Ukraine With Fanfare and Israel in Secret?

When the Biden administration ships arms to Ukraine, it pulls out the megaphones.

It announces its shipments and hails its own efforts “to support the brave Ukrainian people as they defend their country,” as Secretary of State Antony Blinken put it last month.

The White House emphasizes transparency about aid provided to Ukraine, saying it wants to be clear how “that money has been spent.”
