(Washington) The United States will deliver a new tranche of military aid to Ukraine, amounting to 350 million dollars and including in particular ammunition for the Himars rocket launchers, announced Monday the head of diplomacy American Antony Blinken.
“Russia alone could end its war today. Until she does, we will stand with Ukraine for as long as necessary,” the Secretary of State said in a statement, as Chinese President Xi Jinping is visiting Moscow.
The delivery, which is also to include Bradley light armored vehicles, shells and anti-tank weapons, comes from funds already allocated by the US Congress.
“As Russia’s inadmissible war of aggression against Ukraine continues at the cost of immense human loss, we bear in mind the boundless courage and unwavering determination of the Ukrainian people,” added Mr. .Blinken.
Xi Jinping’s three-day visit to Russian President Vladimir Putin is being watched with reserve by Washington, which sees it as a way for Moscow to try to rubber-stamp its territorial gains.
