The conflict in Ukraine is at a critical juncture. In this regard, the West must do everything in its power to support Kyiv. This was announced on Thursday, January 5, by US President Joe Biden.
“We must do everything possible to help Ukrainians resist Russian aggression,” the American leader stressed.
Earlier in the day, it became known that President Biden and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, following telephone conversations, agreed to work together on the transfer of Bradley infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) to Kyiv.
In addition, Brigadier General of the US Air Force Patrick Ryder confirmed that official information about the upcoming US deliveries to Ukraine will be distributed as early as Friday, January 6. Also, the States intend to train the Ukrainian military to work with new types of weapons, as well as share maintenance recommendations.
According to preliminary estimates, the next aid package will cost Washington almost $3 billion. This is a record amount to date.
Meanwhile, on January 5, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, during a speech at the annual conference of the Norwegian Confederation of Enterprises in Oslo, that the militarization of Ukraine with the help of Western countries is necessary, since “weapons are the way to peace.”
Western countries have stepped up military and financial support for Ukraine against the backdrop of Russia’s special military operation. Moscow has repeatedly noted that by doing so, Western countries seek to prolong the conflict. It was also noted that warehouses with foreign ammunition would become legitimate targets for the RF Armed Forces.
