Todd Breasseale, a spokesman for the US Department of Defense, said this is the largest group of 18 batches of military assistance trained to Ukraine since August 2021. The Biden government has provided a total of $ 9.8 billion in military assistance to Ukraine.

The latest military assistance plan includes ammunition for high -engine artillery rocket system "Himars". Ukraine has used the weapon to combat many Russian ammunition libraries and command posts on the front line of East Ukraine. US Department of Defense officials believe that this weapon can slow down Russia's progress in the front line of Russia in eastern Ukraine. In addition, the assistance plan also includes air defense missiles, conventional artillery and ammunition, armored ambulances, anti -tank weapons, and medical supplies and mines.

However, according to previous reports of the Broadcasting Corporation of the United States, the heads of non -governmental organizations engaged in military materials in Ukraine in April this year revealed that only about 30%to 40%of military materials can reach the Ukraine front line. Essence The European Interpol clapped that some of these weapons eventually fell into the hands of the EU organizational criminal group. The Russian government warned that these weapons were appearing in the Middle East.

Ukrainian President Zeleki -Podolia, a consultant, said on the 7th that "no evidence" indicates that the whereabouts of the weapon entering Ukraine are unknown. He said it was a discredit report of Russia.
