US Sends Tons of Weapons to Ukraine Amid ‘Mental War’ Against Russia - FARS

 (FNA)- A US cargo ship docked in Ukraine’s Odessa port, delivering tons of military equipment and vehicles to the country’s armed forces, according to a report.
According to local media, the ship will deliver 350 tons of military equipment, including 35 HMMWV military trucks, to Ukraine’s Armed Forces, with all equipment is expected to be unloaded on Friday.

Back in January, the US delivered a batch of newly-made armored military trucks, known as the High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV).

Ukraine is currently in possession of hundreds of those trucks. Furthermore, the military has received armored modifications and medical ones.

Earlier his month, the US Department of Defense announced an additional $125 million package for the Ukraine military to cover training, equipment, and advisory support.

In total, Washington has committed over $2 billion in military assistance to Kiev since 2014.

In March 2014, the Black Sea peninsula of Crimea rejoined Russia following a referendum, in a move that the West branded as annexation of Ukrainian land by Russia.

In siding with Ukraine, the European Union (EU) and Washington imposed several rounds of sanctions against Russia.

Later in 2015, Kiev and Moscow signed a ceasefire deal in the Belarus capital Minsk with French and German support, but both parties have on numerous occasions accused each other of violating the ceasefire.

Kiev also accuses Russia of having a hand in a years-long armed conflict in the mainly Russian-speaking regions in eastern Ukraine.
