US to announce 3 billion Dollars in military aid to Ukraine
The United States will announce 3 billion Dollars in fresh military aid to Kyiv today as Ukraine marks its independence day as well as the six-month anniversary of the conflict with Russia.
Confirming this a US official said the new tranche of American funding will help Kyiv acquire more weaponry, ammunition, and other supplies for its armed forces, locked in a grinding war of attrition with Russian troops in the east and south with neither side advancing significantly in weeks.
Meanwhile, in Moscow, the Kremlin warned it would show “no mercy” over the assassination of Daria Dugina, the daughter of an ultra nationalist intellectual allied with President Vladimir Putin, which it blamed on Ukraine.
Kyiv has denied responsibility for the Saturday bombing, which apparently targeted Dugina’s father Alexander Dugin. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said the investigation into the attack would be completed soon. He further stated that according to the results of this investigation, there can be no mercy for those who organised, ordered, and carried out the car bombing.
