U.S. Secretary of State Blinken and U.S. Defense Secretary Austin said the U.S. had approved a $165 million sale of ammunition for Ukraine's war effort.
KYIV, Ukraine -- Top American officials pledged Monday to help ensure Ukraine wins its fight against Russia following face-to-face talks with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv, while Britain said Moscow has yet to achieve a significant breakthrough in its offensive in Ukraine's eastern industrial heartland.
As fighting continued, Russia struck deep into Ukraine, targeting infrastructure far from the front line, according to Ukrainian and Russian reports. He added that other strikes by long-range missiles overnight hit concentrations of troops and weapons and ammunition depots in Barvinkove and Nova Dmytrivka in the Kharkiv region, near the Russian border. In all, he said Russian warplanes destroyed 56 Ukrainian targets.
"The priorities are weapons and support from the United States of America and our partners, European leaders, in terms of our army's strength and support in certain areas," the Ukrainian president said."The second issue is the sanctions policy against the Russian Federation because of the full-scale invasion and all the terror they have committed in Ukraine."
The ministry added that, so far, Russia has only made"minor advances in some areas since shifting its focus to fully occupying the Donbas." Asked about what the U.S. sees as success, Austin said that"we want to see Ukraine remain a sovereign country, a democratic country able to protect its sovereign territory, we want to see Russia weakened to the point where it can't do things like invade Ukraine."
Since failing to capture Kyiv, the Russians have aimed to gain full control over the Donbas, the eastern industrial heartland, where Moscow-backed separatists controlled some territory before the war.
