"The first batch of aid recently ordered by the president to be sent to Ukraine ( USA Joe) Biden, arrived in Ukraine at night. This shipment includes about 200 thousand pounds (90.7 tons) of lethal weapons, including ammunition for the defenders of the front line of Ukraine", the embassy said on Twitter.

On Tuesday, a US State Department spokeswoman told reporters that the US intends to continue sending new military aid to Ukraine, with further deliveries expected over the coming weeks. Moscow has repeatedly called on Washington to stop deliveries of weapons to Kiev. The situation on the line of contact in the Donbass is a matter of serious concern to Russia — for several months, Moscow has been recording Kiev's pulling heavy weapons and forces there. Moscow does not rule out that the Ukrainian authorities are hatching plans for a forceful solution to the conflict in the southeast with the connivance of Western countries, which continue to «pump» Kiev with weapons and send military instructors. In addition, Kiev is blocking work in the contact group, refusing direct dialogue with the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, and is developing draft laws that directly contradict the Minsk agreements — for example, a draft law on the transition period.The US Permanent Representative to the UN called the condition for military measures against RussiaIn April 2014, the Ukrainian authorities launched a military operation against the self-proclaimed DPR and LPR, which declared independence after the coup in Kiev in February 2014. According to the latest UN data, about 13 thousand people became victims of the conflict. The issue of resolving the situation in Donbass is being discussed, including during meetings of the contact group. However, even after the ceasefire agreements, skirmishes continue, in the DPR they announced shelling of residential areas by Ukrainian heavy artillery. Moscow has repeatedly stated that Kiev does not comply with the Minsk agreements and drags out negotiations to resolve the conflict. The Russian Foreign Ministry noted that Kiev sent half of the entire personnel of the armed forces of Ukraine to the Donbass. Moscow expressed concern about the transfer of military equipment from NATO countries to the Russian borders and the increase in the number of Western instructors in the Donbass. Western countries continue to provide military support to Ukraine, including by supplying weapons that are used in the Donbass. media reported
