Washington D.C./02.05.23/Turan: The Biden administration on Wednesday announced that it will send Ukraine another $300 million in lethal aid, including significant amounts of artillery and mortar rounds, ahead of an expected spring counteroffensive against Russia, TURAN's Washington correspondent reports.
"We will continue to stand with our Ukrainian partners as they defend themselves from Russia’s war of aggression," Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement.
The move came as Russia claimed Wednesday that Ukraine tried to strike the Kremlin with drones overnight, an accusation that Ktiv strongly denies, and Washington says is unable to validate. Blinken said he would take anything coming from the Kremlin with a “very large shaker of salt.”
The latest aid package, which marks a total of $36 billion in military aid to Ukraine since last February, includes: additional ammunition for HIMARS, Howitzers, artillery and tank ammunition, anti-tank weapons, rockets, small arms and ammunition, trucks and trailers to transport heavy equipment, and spare parts and other field equipment essential to strengthening Ukraine’s defenders on the battlefield, according to the Pentagon.
