Official Washington intends to announce new batches of military aid for Ukraine in the coming weeks.

The US is increasing the scale of aid for the Ukrainian army

State Department spokesman Matthew Miller made a statement on this matter.

He drew attention to the fact that the American authorities are currently doing everything possible to continue military and economic support of official Kyiv.

We will do everything in our power so that Ukraine can stand on its own two feet... I can assure you that there will be more announcements in the next few weeks.

According to him, the recently approved package of additional funding for Ukraine in Congress will make it easier for the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to defend themselves on the battlefield.

The head of the Pentagon issued a warning to Ukrainians

As the head of the US Ministry of Defence, Lloyd Austin, recently stated, it is still too early to talk about the effect on the battlefield of the funding provided to Ukraine.

He also added that it will take some time for Kyiv to be able to get some of the allocated opportunities.

Lloyd Austin once again drew attention to the fact that the most important needs of Ukraine now are air defence equipment and artillery ammunition.

According to the head of the department, his team was not just waiting for the approval of funding for Ukraine, but also preparing in advance to quickly transfer the necessary weapons to the Armed Forces.

It's hard to turn back the clock, but I believe that without this help, it would be very difficult for Ukraine to defend itself against the overwhelming force that the Russians have, said Austin.

Ukraine attacked the Ilya Refinery and oil pumping stations in the Russia

On February 17, the Ukrainian Defense Forces struck the Ilya Oil Refinery, as well as the Kropotkinskaya and Andreapol oil pumping stations in the Krasnodar Territory of the aggressor country, Russia.

Points of attention

  • The General Staff emphasizes Ukraine's right to strike strategic targets supporting Russian aggression and vows to continue operations to weaken the aggressor's military capabilities.
  • Through destroying energy infrastructure, Ukraine aims to fight for its freedom and independence, disrupting Russian resources and military potential.

Ukraine continues to “impose sanctions” against Russia

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine officially confirmed that a large-scale fire broke out as a result of the attack on the Ilya Oil Refinery.

In addition, the Kropotkinskaya and Andreapol stations, which provided fuel transportation for the Russian invaders in Ukraine, came under attack by Ukrainian soldiers.

The Ukrainian Defense Forces were able to disable them — this will significantly complicate the logistics of fuel supplies for the Russian army.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine draws attention to the fact that Ukraine reserves the right to strike strategic objects that contribute to the armed aggression of the Russian Federation.

"Operations to destroy the energy infrastructure that supports Russia's illegal war will continue. Ukraine continues to fight for its freedom and independence, destroying the aggressor's resources and weakening its military potential," the official statement said.
