Washington has approved the transfer from Germany to Ukraine of 100 Patriot air defense missiles and 125 long-range missiles, the newspaper The New York Times reported, citing a source in the US Congress.
The publication notes that these weapons are manufactured in the United States and cannot be exported without permission from the US government, even if they belong to another country.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov said in an interview with ABC News that a long-term ceasefire in Ukraine without stopping arms supplies to Kiev "would be an advantage for Ukraine and Ukraine will continue full mobilization, transferring new troops to the front“. Peskov noted that Russian President Vladimir Putin is doing everything possible to resolve the conflict through peaceful and diplomatic methods.
