Another day in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine standoff and another US weapons shipment has arrived in Kiev, despite all sides ostensibly continuing to push for a diplomatic solution and the avoidance of military conflict.
On Tuesday Ukraine Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov announced his country has received a new shipment of “500 tons of defense equipment” from the United States. “The day hasnât passed yet and weâre unloading the 6th bird from our friends from the U.S.! 84 tons of ammunition arrived in Kyiv!” he wrote on Twitter.
We vastly prefer the path of dialogue and diplomacy, but we will continue to provide Ukraine the defensive assistance needed to defend against Russia's massive military force assembled on its borders. We #StandWithUkraine https://t.co/XRDq2gB7N0
