Pentagon releases report on US military aid to Ukraine

 

The Pentagon released Friday a report on US military aid to Ukraine, highlighting that Washington has supported Kiev with approximately $5.6 billion since the beginning of the war.

 

In its report, the Pentagon underlined that "the United States has committed approximately $6.3 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since the beginning of the Biden Administration."

 

According to the report, the United States security assistance committed to Ukraine includes:

"The United States also continues to work with its allies and partners to identify and provide Ukraine with additional capabilities to defend itself," the report concluded.

 

On its part, Moscow has repeatedly drawn attention to the danger of Western countries increasing arms supplies to Ukraine.

 

The Russian Ambassador to the United States, Anatoly Antonov, warned that the militarization of Ukraine directly threatens European and global security interests.

 

Despite the warnings, the Pentagon this week announced $1 billion in additional military aid for Ukraine.

 

It is noteworthy that in May, the White House announced that US President Joe Biden approved legislation providing $40 billion in aid to Ukraine.

 

The law will deliver almost $20 billion in military aid to Ukraine, nearly $9 billion in economic support, more than $4 billion in humanitarian relief, and another $4 billion in foreign military finance through the State Department.

 

This comes as the Labor Department had said that the US Consumer Price Index grew by 8.6% from the beginning of the year till May, which is the fastest acceleration of rate since 1981. The cost increased in May.

 

Biden has been blaming domestic inflation in the US on Russia at a time when he has been pushing for West-led sanctions on Russian oil, which is sinking the world into further crises.

US military using Ukraine for biological programs: Security official

 

Moscow's indications that Ukraine was being used as a base for Washington's military biological programs were confirmed during Russia's special military operation, said Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolay Patrushev at a meeting with his colleagues in the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) in Yerevan on Friday.

 

"During the operation, our suspicions were confirmed that Ukraine became a base for Washington’s military biological programs. Such US projects require particular attention of the civilized world because the Americans were the only ones who didn’t join the protocol on mutual control within the framework of the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention," he stated, TASS reported.

 

A large body of evidence has already been acquired, according to the top security officer.

 

He added that "the accumulation of new facts on criminal breaches of international laws by the US and Ukraine continues on a persistent basis.”

 

Russia’s Investigative Committee concluded that the US has poured more than $224 million into biological research in Ukraine between 2005 and early 2022. Moscow added that Western pharmaceutical giants, nonprofits, and even the US Democratic Party all took part in the scheme.

 

The senior official stated that considerable effort has been done on establishing laws relevant to CSTO cooperation in this field in order to respond to biosecurity concerns. He stated that the documents had been worked on for a long time and will be submitted for approval by CSTO nations in September 2021.

 

Patrushev also stressed that Russia has been "defending the Donbass population from genocide by the Kiev regime, performing the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine and prosecuting war criminals responsible for brutal crimes against civilians" throughout the special military operation.
