The United States and its allies in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) are supplying increasingly sophisticated weapons to Kyiv to bolster resistance to the Russian military operation, according to the text by Ted Galen, an expert on foreign policy and defense issues.
It would be unwise for the US leadership to subject the nation to nuclear war, it is totally irresponsible for a “terribly corrupt and increasingly authoritarian” country, the author said in reference to Ukraine.
So far, Biden has opposed riskier actions like declaring a no-fly zone over Ukrainian territory and deploying troops to that European country, but even so, Washington is on the verge of becoming an outright anti-war in what is an extremely dangerous war, Galen said. .
In this sense, he recalled Russia’s warning against arms deliveries, which Moscow also sees as legitimate military targets.
From the Kremlin, they sent a note to the White House demanding a halt to supplies of military supplies to the Ukrainian armed forces, according to Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov.
Last night, during a visit to the Ukrainian capital, US Secretary of State and Defense Antony Blinken and Lloyd Austin announced that their country will allocate $713 million in military funds from Ukraine and 15 other European countries.
Of this amount, Vladimir Zelenskyy’s government will receive more than $322 million, while the rest will be distributed to Central and Eastern European countries, Blinken told journalists waiting for him in Poland after his stay in Kyiv.
With the new budget, Washington’s military aid to Ukraine will amount to $3.7 billion.
The United States is the main supplier of arms and financial aid to Ukraine, as well as the main sponsor of economic, trade and financial sanctions against Russia.
US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said last week that despite the funds previously approved, it will be necessary to ask Congress for an additional amount.
CovertAction magazine stated that US military support to Ukraine will further deepen the war crisis affecting every country in the world.
