Washington DC: On Wednesday, the United States claimed to have initiated the supply of war aid, including arms and ammunition, to Ukraine to prepare the country to retaliate against the Russian invasion. President Joe Biden alleged that countries like China, Iran, and North Korea are assisting Moscow in this conflict.
"(Russian President Vladimir) Putin's friends keeping him well supplied. Iran sent him drones. North Korea has sent him ballistic missiles and artillery shells. China is providing components and know-how to boost Russia's defence production," Biden said as he signed the National Security Supplemental USD 95.3 billion aid package to Ukraine and Israel and to strengthen the security of America and its allies in the Indo-Pacific, including Taiwan.
"With all this support, Russia has ramped up its airstrikes against Ukrainian cities and critical infrastructure, rained down munitions on brave Ukrainians defending their homeland. And now, America is going to send Ukraine the supplies they need to keep them in the fight," Biden said.
