The Kremlin has dismissed the impact of the new U.S. military aid to Ukraine, stating that it will not change the current situation on the front lines where Russia holds the advantage. The U.S. House of Representatives recently approved over $60 billion in aid for Ukraine, which had been delayed, causing ammunition shortages for Kyiv’s forces.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov emphasized that the Russian armed forces are strengthening their positions at the front and that the aid package will not alter this dynamic. He warned that the influx of weapons and money will only lead to more casualties on the Ukrainian side.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, on the other hand, expressed gratitude for the support and urged Washington to swiftly enact the bill and transfer the promised weapons, particularly long-range arms and air defense systems.
Meanwhile, Russia views the aid package as a boon for the U.S. defense industry, with Peskov acknowledging that most of the money will likely remain in the United States. Despite this, Zelenskyy remains hopeful that the aid will strengthen Ukraine’s armed forces and provide them with a fighting chance against Russian forces.
As tensions continue to escalate in the region, the impact of the U.S. military aid to Ukraine remains a point of contention between the involved parties.
