U.S. military help to Ukraine escalates crisis. Anatoly Antonov, Russia’s ambassador to the U.S., warned early Wednesday that the $325 million U.S. military aid package for Ukraine plunges Washington deeper into the “abyss” of the conflict.
As Ukraine prepares its long-awaited counter-offensive, it includes air defense system munitions, ammunition, and vehicles. While making limited territorial advances, Ukrainian forces lost some Western-supplied tanks and armored vehicles in the past week.
“The United States is getting deeper and deeper into the abyss of the Ukrainian crisis,” Antonov said on the embassy’s Telegram channel.
“Apparently, the strategists from the United States somehow do not understand that no amount of weapons, whatever involvement of mercenaries, will be able to turn the tide in the course of (Russia’s) special military operation.”
Russia calls its assault in Ukraine a “special military operation.” Kyiv and its allies term it an unprovoked land grab.
Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, the U.S., E.U., and other allies have contributed billions in military aid to Kyiv.
On Tuesday, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy tweeted that the additional U.S. aid would provide “effective assistance in liberating the territories temporarily occupied by the Russian aggressor.”
