The United States prefers dialogue to de-escalate the situation along Ukraine's borders, but at the same time, together with its partners, it is expediting security assistance to the country to strengthen its defenses.
According to Ukrinform, the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine announced this on Twitter.
"Russia created this crisis by amassing troops along Ukraine's borders, & it has the ability to de-escalate. We prefer dialogue and diplomacy, but the United States and its allies and partners are standing together to expedite security assistance to Ukraine to bolster its defenses," U.S. diplomats said.
The seventh U.S. plane with military aid delivered ammunition for grenade launchers to Ukraine on February 3.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov earlier said the total weight of ammunition transferred to Ukraine by the United States since January 22 this year has reached about 600 tonnes.
