23 of November 2021 г.
Washington is considering expanding security assistance to Ukraine and sending military advisers to prevent a new invasion on the part of Russia.
That’s according to CNN citing its own sources, Ukrinform reports. These include the transfer to Ukraine of Javelin anti-tank and anti-armor systems, as well as mortars. Stinger air defense missiles are also under consideration, as well as part of the military equipment previously intended for Afghanistan, including Mi-17 helicopters. Asked by reporters about Russia's military activity, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said the administration "had extensive interactions with our European allies and partners in recent weeks, including with Ukraine.” She added that the United States has “also had held discussions with Russian officials about Ukraine and US-Russian relations in general .” It is noted that the Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Mark Milley, also spoke by phone with the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Lt. Gen. Valeriy Zaluzhnyi on Monday. "U.S. officials have also shared with senior Ukrainian officials evidence that Russia, through the FSB -- Russia's successor to the KGB -- is engaging in destabilizing activities inside Ukraine to foment dissent against Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's administration," the report said. Meanwhile, Democratic and Republican lawmakers have added proposed amendments to the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act that would address Russia's latest provocations, but they have yet to sign off on a final version. другие новости
