According to the Kremlin, there has been no discussion of peace talks and the US handing Ukraine a Patriot missile system are proof that the US and Russia are engaged in a “proxy war.”
According to the Russian defense ministry, Sergey Shoigu visits the armed forces engaged in combat in Ukraine, as reported by the RIA news agency.
According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, help to Ukraine is “not charity” but rather an investment in democracy.
Additional military aid of $1.85 billion from the US was announced for Ukraine, including the transfer of the Patriot missile system.
