President Biden has announced to send more advanced rocket system in Ukraine to help defend itself.Mr Biden said the lethal aid would strengthen Kyiv’s negotiating position against Russia and make a diplomatic solution more likely.
The weapons will help to strike enemy forces more precisely from a longer distance.New weaponry will include the M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS).The systems can launch multiple precision-guided missiles at targets as far as 70km (45 miles) away – far further than the artillery that Ukraine currently has.
Helicopters, anti-tank weapons, tactical vehicles and spare parts are to be included in what will be the 11th package of military aid approved by the US for Ukraine since the invasion began in February.
Previously Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has accused the West of “pumping up the Ukrainian nationalists with weapons” and said that any cargo of arms bound for Ukraine would become a legitimate target for Moscow.The ministry has said that Nato countries are “playing with fire” by sending weapons to Ukraine.
