In the US, they answered when Ukraine will receive long -range weapons and artillery ammunition - the media
At the same time, Austin, on behalf of the United States Presidential Administration, Joe Baiden assured Ukrainian leaders that US support will be provided, despite the growing opposition of Republicans in Congress and the situation in the battlefield against Russian troops. And the officials who accompany Austin to Kiev have stated that the US assistance will contain more weapons and artillery ammunition for the Armed Forces for some time.
On November 20, the Pentagon head visited Ukraine for the second time after Russia's invasion in February 2022. Here he meets with President Vladimir Zelensky, Defense Minister Rustem Umerov and General Valery Zaluzhny, as well as a senior military officer in the country. Austin arrived in the capital by a night train from Poland. He was met by the Washington Ambassador to Bridget Brynk.
Due to the fact that US President Biden faces more and more difficult problems with Ukraine's political support, especially among Republicans in the House of Representatives, the stock of affordable funds is declining. At the same time, Kyiv relied on the help of the US and supply weapons for the Armed Forces. "Our dedication to Ukraine today is investing in our own security. It prevents a broader conflict tomorrow," Biden said.
We will remind, Ukrainian experts also spoke about the visit of the Pentagon head to Ukraine on November 20. They believe that Austin arrived on the eve of Ramstein's meeting to reflect the level of relations between Ukraine and the US, so you should not expect bad news. We will add that US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin on Monday, November 20, arrived in Kiev and already met with President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky. The head of Ukraine commented on a meeting with Lloyd Austin.
