KYIV: US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said a new US weapons package had already started arriving in Ukraine with more supplies on the way during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv on Tuesday.
“We also know that in the near term the assistance is now on the way, some of it has already arrived and more of it will be arriving,” said Blinken.”And that’s going to make a real difference against the ongoing Russian aggression on the battlefield.”
Zelenskyy lauded the “crucial” US aid, stressing the country’s biggest deficit – air defence. Zelenskyy told Blinken that Ukraine needs two air defence batteries for the northeastern city of Kharkiv, being pummelled by Russian air strikes.
