The United States allocated an additional military aid package in the amount of $ 200 million.
According to Pentagon, the package will mainly include air defense systems, artillery ammunition, anti -tank gun and auxiliary equipment.
An additional military assistance package will help Ukraine protect its territory and cover its “critical” needs in the field of security and defense, noted in the US defense department.
The head of the Pentagon Lloyd Austin wrote on the social network X that the United States is full of determination in the issue of supporting Ukraine.
At the same time, US President Joe Biden at a joint press conference with the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky emphasized Washington’s readiness to continue to support Ukraine in conflict with Russia.
The head of the White House noted that the decision of the Republicans to block the Packet of Assistance to Ukraine in the Senate is most satisfied in Moscow.
The United States will continue to support Ukraine in the most decisive way, Biden emphasized.
Until now, both the Democrats and the Republicans have demonstrated support to Ukraine, and it is important that this continues, the US President said.
Zelensky said that US support is very important for Kyiv. The head of the Ukrainian state noted that the steps of Russia, contributing to the tightening of the conflict, are harmful to the interests of the region.
