U.S. President Joe Biden on Wednesday said that sending Bradley Fighting Vehicles to Ukraine was being considered to help the Ukrainians in combating Russia’s invasion, TURAN's Washington correspondent reports.
“Yes,” Biden said when asked by reporters if the option was on the table.
The move came as the Kremlin boasted its military had destroyed a U.S.-supplied heavy artillery system called HIMARS. The White House, however, said that hasn’t been confirmed.
The Kremlin’s claims followed a devastating attack on a Russian military base in territory it occupies in eastern Ukraine, where Russian officials said at least 63 of its soldiers were killed after coming under fire from what it said were U.S.-provided HIMARS.
National security spokesperson John Kirby, in a call with reporters, said Wednesday, “I’ve seen Russian claims that they hit a HIMAR system, and in response to this, we have no information to confirm that report.”
Kirby added that the Russians have released similar reports before, suggesting it is part of Putin’s disinformation campaign that paints Russia’s more than 10-month assault on Ukraine as a defensive military operation.
