Moscow announces it has for the first time downed a long-range rocket supplied to Ukraine by the US, weapons Kiev has said are key to an anticipated counter-attack against Russian forces
Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu has visited ammunition production facilities in central Russia and praised work to increase production of shells for the armed forces in Ukraine. Moscow has announced it had for the first time downed a long-range rocket supplied to Ukraine by the United States, weapons Kiev said were key to an anticipated counter-attack against Russian forces.
The Pentagon announced last month it was providing Ukraine with the artillery as part of a $2.2 billion arms package.Ukraine has said that it has received more than $7 billion from the US and the EU since the start of the year. Shmyhal also said the government will pass an order to receive $2.6 billion from the US and other p artners as a part of Kiev’s second grant in providing salaries to emergency service workers, teachers, and doctors, as well as to help pensioners, internally displaced persons, people with disabilities and low-income families.
In an interview with The Associated Press a day before he was to cross the front lines for a second time to visit the plant, IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi said he felt it was his duty to ramp up talks aimed at safeguarding the facility. Russia's full-scale assault, which began on February 24, 2022, "gave us an all too rare view of what becomes possible when there is political will to act" as the West closed ranks to support Ukraine, she added.
