The United States will support Ukraine regardless of the election results, Blinken said Earlier, the Associated Press, citing sources in The US administration has reported that the Pentagon is sending a new $275 million aid package, including weapons, to Ukraine. There are no major weapons systems in the new package, the sources said. This tranche is mainly aimed at replenishing stocks of shells, including for HIMARS missile systems. Russia had previously sent a note to NATO countries because of the supply of weapons to Ukraine. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted that any cargo that contains weapons for Ukraine will become a legitimate target for Russia. The Foreign Ministry of the Russian Federation stated that the NATO countries are «playing with fire» by supplying weapons to Ukraine. Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov noted that pumping Ukraine with weapons from the West does not contribute to the success of Russian-Ukrainian negotiations and will have a negative effect. >Decision on talks with Russia will be made by Zelensky, White House says
