Defense Minister Shoigu told a Russian news agency that the country would step up its strikes against Western military storage facilities and supply hubs.
To save the Ukrainian military from disintegration, he said that the United States government would provide Ukraine with more than $60 billion, the vast majority of which would support Washington DC’s military-industrial machine.
The Biden administration is preparing an unprecedented shipment of military aid, including armored vehicles, artillery, and air defenses, for shipment to Ukraine. This follows the recent approval of a $60 billion US aid package by the House of Representatives, following months of postponement.
Since beginning the invasion of Ukraine, Russia has said that it has neutralized over 22,000 Ukrainian drones, 3,500 HIMARS rockets, and 600 missiles.
Weapons and ammunition stored at Ukrainian military facilities, including those from the US and NATO partners, have been reported to be liquidated on a regular basis.
Russia has made it extremely clear that the transfer of armament from Western nations to Ukraine does not do anything to bring an end to the bloodshed; instead, it only serves to prolong it.
In the long run, it is still unclear whether Ukraine will be able to recover sufficiently from months of defeats and extensive infrastructure damage.
