According to a Ministry statement, the US’s increasing support of Ukraine's army with weapons proves the inconsistency and falsity of the claims of the American side that the US is not a party to the conflict.
The Ministry insists that the current US policy toward the Russia-Ukraine conflict will deepen confrontation with Russia in all directions.
A day earlier, US President Joe Biden made a surprise visit to Kyiv and announced an additional 500 million USD in military assistance for Ukraine, which includes artillery ammunition, anti-armor systems, and air surveillance radar.
