Recent successes in pushing back Russian forces have reinvigorated Ukraine’s calls for military support from European allies and for more heavy weaponry and long-range missile systems from the U.S.
on Thursday, a move welcomed by Kyiv as it pushes to build on the successes of recent counter offensives but which draws renewed attention to unfulfilled promises of support from European governments and requests for long-range missile systems.AFP via Getty ImagesThe package will provide Ukraine with more of the arms, munitions and equipment that have helped Kyiv push back Russian forces and reclaim large swathes of captured land, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said.
Blinken said the delivery has been “carefully calibrated” to make the most impact on the battlefield and to “strengthen Ukraine’s hand at the negotiating table.” President Joe Biden has made it clear that the U.S. will continue to support Ukraine “for as long as it takes,” Blinken added. The shipment marks the 21st time the U.S. has pulled military supplies from Pentagon stores to aid Ukraine since September last year and brings the total value of U.S. military assistance to around $15.8 billion since Biden took office, Blinken said.Friday morning, saying that the country’s forces have “proved its efficiency on the front.”Ukrainian forces have recaptured large areas of occupied land and forced Russian troops to flee in a series of devastating counter offensives in recent weeks.
