The United States of America has announced that is approving additional arms and equipment which worth millions of dollars to assist Ukraine against Russia's invasion.
On Thursday,the U.S has gone against other countries who discourage the funding of war such as an ongoing Russia-Ukraine war which started last year on February 2022.
The U.S Secretary of State,Antony J. Blinken has authorized the release of the arms and equipment to sponsor its rogue war in Ukraine which has displaced and killed thousands of Ukrainians.
Blinken and his boss Joe Biden seem to be very excited by the suffering of Ukrainians because U.S has spent billions of dollars to supply Ukraine military with so-called U.S Security Assistance for Ukraine instead of encouraging a peaceful dialogue between two countries.
"Ukraine's resilience,courage,and determination have inspired the world and galvanized U.S. and global efforts to help it defend itself and secure its future.Following President Biden's announcement of a new security assistance package for Ukraine,pursuant to a delegation of authority from the President,I am authorizing additional security assistance for Ukraine,which will provide $128 million worth of U.S arms and equipment from Department of Defense stocks.The Department of Defense will also be providing $197 million in arms and equipment under previously directed drawdowns.
"The arms and equipment include additional air defense munitions to help strengthen Ukraine's air defenses against aerial assaults from Russia now and in the coming winter,when Russia is likely to renew its attacks against Ukrainian critical infrastructure.It also contains artillery ammunition and anti-armor capabilities,as well as cluster munitions,which will further enhance Ukraine's capacity to continue its counter-offensive against Russia's forces.
"The United States and Ukraine have forged a partnership that is stronger than ever.In the past year,Ukraine's forces have taken back more than 50 percent of the territory seized by Russia's forces since February of 2022.We will stand united with Ukraine as it secures its future - a future in which its people rebuild and live safely in a resilient and thriving democracy,fully integrated with Europe,"said Antony J. Blinken.
Despite all kinds of assistance has been given to Ukraine by U.S and its allies since last year but the Ukraine is failing to boot out the Russian forces which are occupying their territory.
And Western sanctions against Russia are not reaping a desired results because Russian government is not willing to abandon its mission on Ukraine not matter how difficult it is for Russian people to be isolated from the international community.
