Washington-Sana
Today, US President Joe Biden announced new US military aid to Ukraine, including artillery munitions and radar equipment.
"We will provide an additional package of assistance to Ukraine, including more artillery munitions, radar and other equipment," Biden was quoted as saying by AFP.
Biden warned at the same time that the funds allocated to supply Kyiv with weapons "are running out", calling on Congress to allocate additional funds.
For his part, a senior US official indicated that the new military aid package is worth $150 million.
Arms shipments from the United States and its NATO allies continue to flow into Kyiv worth more than hundreds of millions of dollars in one of the largest international arms transfers since World War II. These military shipments include anti-tank missiles, air defense batteries and other weapons. In a dangerous and continuing escalation of the crisis in Ukraine.
In addition, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby admitted that his country had provided intelligence information to Kiev about Russian forces, saying that the Ukrainian authorities "are the ones who decide for themselves how to use them."
“We are providing them with what we believe is relevant and timely information on Russian units that will allow Ukrainian forces to organize and mobilize their defense to the best of their ability,” Kirby said, noting that “the intelligence provided is limited,” as he put it.
Kirby noted that "other countries are also passing on intelligence to Kyiv," without providing additional details.
The New York Times had revealed earlier that the United States had provided intelligence about Russian units present in the battlefields during the Russian special operation, which allowed the Ukrainians to target Russian soldiers.
