LVIV, Ukraine — The White House announced it was sending an additional $200 million in arms and equipment to Ukraine on Saturday, as Russian forces stepped up a campaign of bombardments and sieges aimed at devastating the country’s cities and towns, including the capital, Kyiv.
The American announcement of more arms for Ukraine’s military, including missiles for taking out warplanes and tanks, came just hours after Russia warned that weapons sent to Ukraine would be considered “legitimate targets” for Russian forces. A Foreign Ministry official said the “thoughtless transfer” of antitank and antiaircraft missiles could lead to serious consequences.
How could Moscow not feel that way? I sense the palsied hand of Poland in this move. They were pissed we didn't supply Ukraine with the jet fighters and the Bidens did promise to send different materiele. Sec. Austen needs to bitch slap Blinken.
