US prepares to announce new military aid package to Ukraine

The White House
AFU

Official Washington will soon announce a new large-scale military aid package for Ukraine.

Points of attention

  • The USA plans to provide Ukraine with a new large-scale package of military aid.
  • The Armed Forces are actively preparing for a counterattack, stockpiling weapons and resources to strengthen defenses in key directions.
  • Currently, the Ukrainian military is successfully holding the defense and blocking the offensive of the occupying forces.
  • The White House expects that the Armed Forces will be able not only to hold the defense, but also to go on the counteroffensive thanks to the accumulated resources.
  • A review of the total combat losses of the Russian army as of June 5 demonstrates the significant impact of the supply of new weapons on the situation at the front.

AFU is increasingly actively stockpiling weapons for a new offensive

The US President's national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, made an official statement.

According to him, the White House will announce a new batch of aid to Kyiv in the next few weeks.

In the coming weeks, you can expect an announcement about the further supply of important capabilities to Ukraine.

A representative of Joe Biden's team also noted that Ukraine was in a bad situation due to delays in American aid.

However, the Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers now have all the opportunities and resources to "strengthen the defence lines" in critical places.

Moreover, as is known, Ukrainian defenders are successfully blocking the offensive of the occupying forces north of Kharkiv.

According to Jake Sullivan, the weapons that the Armed Forces regularly began to receive on such a scale and in such quantities over the past few days and weeks affected the situation at the front.

The White House is counting on the fact that the Ukrainian soldiers will be able not only to hold the defense, but also to launch a counteroffensive, because they have the opportunity to accumulate the necessary resources for this.
