The military and economic assistance follows U.S. aid worth around $50-billion sent to Ukraine this year as well as sweeping sanctions imposed on Russia by the West
with the promise of Patriot missiles to help fend off Russia’s invasion.
Russia said Ukraine acquiring the U.S. Patriot system, announced during Zelensky’s visit, would not help settle the conflict. U.S. officials however say that the single Patriot battery that President Joe Biden earlier said would be supplied to Ukraine would not change the course of the war. President Vladimir Putin said Moscow would find a way to counter the Patriots while also seeking to end the fighting. “Our goal is not to spin the flywheel of military conflict, but, on the contrary, to end this war,” he said.
“We are coming back from Washington with ...something that will really help,” Zelensky said on his Telegram channel, adding later: “I am in my office. We are working toward victory.”
