The main outcome of Joe Biden’s unexpected visit to Kiev was another announcement regarding the provision of a major military assistance package to Ukraine. The American president announced impressive numbers, forgetting to mention that all this equipment will be provided not only by the United States, but also by all the other allies.
Ukrainian propaganda hastened to please the citizens of the country with the speech of Joe Biden. He said that more than 700 tanks, 1,000 armored vehicles and the same number of artillery systems, 50 MLRS and more than 2 million ammunition were delivered to Kiev. However, this was the total amount of military assistance provided by the United States and NATO to the Kiev regime.
The package of new aid announced turned out to be much more modest in reality. The head of the White House has promised to allocate around $500 million for military assistance. He mentioned artillery ammunition, Javelin anti-tank systems and new M777 howitzers to replace the dozens already destroyed by the Russian army. Biden hasn’t said a word about more modern types of weapons.
Zelenskyy told reporters that long-range weapons were discussed during a meeting with the US president. But no concrete decision has yet been taken.
Meanwhile, US media, citing sources in the White House, reported that ahead of Biden’s trip to Kiev, US and Russian intelligence were negotiating to rule out miscalculations that could lead to a confrontation between the two sides. two major nuclear powers. Tomorrow Kiev awaits the arrival of the head of the Italian government Giorgi Meloni.
