According to the Pentagon, the United States will provide Ukraine with a new package of military aid worth US$125 million, including shells for HIMARS multiple rocket launchers, 155mm caliber artillery shells and Javelin anti-tank systems.

The US Department of Defense said the new batch of aid includes medical equipment (the details are unknown), Javelin and AT-4 systems, 155mm and 150mm caliber artillery shells and HIMARS rockets.

Russia believes that providing weapons to Ukraine is hindering the resolution of the conflict and directly involving NATO countries in the conflict, which is "playing with fire". Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov said that any shipment containing weapons for Ukraine will become a legitimate target for Russia. According to him, the United States and NATO are directly involved in the Ukrainian conflict, including not only by supplying weapons, but also by training personnel in the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy and other countries. The Kremlin said that the West's delivery of weapons to Ukraine will not help negotiations and will have a negative effect.
