US to announce another aid package for Ukraine this week

The administration of US President Joe Biden will announce a new aid package for Ukraine this week, media outlets reported, citing an unnamed US official.

The Politico newspaper did not specify when exactly the new aid package will be announced. No further details were given.

On October 2, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said at a briefing that the US would send a new military aid package to Ukraine "in the near future."

According to the spokeswoman, this will be a "message" to Russia. She was commenting on Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov's statement about the Western world's growing fatigue with funding Kyiv, TASS reported.

Russia has repeatedly said that the generous military aid extended to Ukraine by the US and its Western allies only prolongs the war and adds to the suffering of the Ukrainian people.

Moscow has also asserted that by helping out Ukraine against Russia, the West is waging a “proxy war” against Russian forces.

Speaking last month, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said through their support for Ukraine, Western countries were directly fighting against Moscow.
