Rumors of a new package from the US

On December 20, Reuters, citing its own sources, claimed that in the coming days, the United States plans to announce a military aid package to Ukraine with weapons worth $1.2 billion.

According to the agency, the package will include missiles for air defense systems and artillery shells.

By the way, yesterday, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the United States had increased the supply of weapons to Ukrainian defenders.

The head of state emphasized that the pace of arms transfers should increase to a level that would slow down the pace of constant Russian attacks.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken assured that President Joe Biden’s administration plans to use all the funds allocated to help Ukraine before Donald Trump’s inauguration.
