Ukraine’s Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov mentioned on Sunday the nation had obtained a second consignment of weapons from the United States as a part of defensive support totalling $200 million.
Washington has mentioned it might proceed to help Ukraine amid issues in Kyiv and amongst its Western allies over tens of hundreds of Russian troops amassed on its border. Russia denies planning a army offensive.
“The second bird in Kyiv! More than 80 tons of weapons to strengthen Ukraine’s defense capabilities from our friends in the USA! And this is not the end,” Reznikov wrote on Twitter.
About 90 tonnes of “lethal security assistance”, together with ammunition, from the package deal accepted by the U.S. in December arrived within the Ukrainian capital on Saturday.
