KYIV, Ukraine (AP) U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak traveled to Kyiv on Friday to unveil a new support package for Ukraine, including an increase in military funding for its war with R.
The US has transferred 1.1 million rounds of small arms ammunition to Ukraine, which was seized from Iran, according to US Central Command. This comes at a crucial time as US financial support for Ukraine s defense against Russia remains uncertain. The ammunition will be used by Ukraine in its fight against Russia. However, it is worth noting that Iran has been supplying Russia with drones that have been used against Ukraine.
Iran has become Russia’s “top military backer” over the course of the war in Ukraine, and the two countries growing military partnership is “transforming their relationship into a full-fledged defense partnership,” National Security Council communications coordinator John Kirby said on Friday.
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has said Iran must be punished for what he called its ‘complicity in Russian terror’ and accused the regime in Tehran of helping to prolong the war and exacerbate its impact on food and energy supplies.
