Earlier it was reported that US President Joe Biden had a telephone conversation with Ukrainian counterpart Vladimir Zelensky, during which he spoke about a new military assistance package to Ukraine worth $ 625 million. US media found out that the package includes armored vehicles, 16 howitzers 155 mm. The same amount of 105 mm howitzers, as well as 4 Himars volley fire systems. It was also reported that the military aid package will include ammunition, mines and mine vehicles.
American assistance has become a response to Russia's actions that announced the annexation of captured Ukrainian territories. On September 30, the relevant statement was made by Russian President Vladimir Putin. On October 4, the Federation Council unanimously approved the ratification of "treaties" on the admission of Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions.
Radfed proposed a scheme in Crimea in 2014: all residents of the captured territories are recognized as citizens of the Russian Federation, but they have one month to file a statement in writing. There is only one difference: obtaining citizenship is possible provided that the statement and oath of the Russian citizen is filed. Crimeans were given citizenship automatically upon registration. In Ukraine, Russian annexation laws have decided to consider legally void.
