The United States supplied 80,000 kilograms of ammunition to Ukraine million dollars, which the presidents of the two countries Joe Biden and Vladimir Zelensky agreed on in August. This was reported by the press service of the US Embassy in Kiev on Facebook.
According to the diplomatic mission, this was the fourth delivery of weapons to the republic, which “demonstrates the US commitment to the success of a stable, democratic and free Ukraine.” Diplomats noted that since 2014, Ukraine has received more than $ 2.5 billion in defense assistance from the United States.
Earlier, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said that the White House will work with the US Congress with aim to guarantee the continuation of the provision of military assistance to Ukraine. He noted that the United States will supply Ukraine with the systems that the country needs, including lethal defensive weapons.
At the same time, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Konstantin Grishchenko said that Kiev would not wait for military assistance from the United States. “I don’t see the United States taking on any extraordinary obligations. To support, respect territorial integrity and help to preserve it, to use possible sanctions – yes, but nothing more, ”the ex-Foreign Minister was upset.
