"The US is doing everything possible to accelerate military supplies to Ukraine and is confident that it can hold the front ’in the east’, said US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken in an interview with CBS News Source, Paralel.Az reports.

According to him, the many-month delay in receiving an additional budget request for the approval and shipment of weapons to Ukraine ‘has led to costs’.

‘Only this week we have withdrawn about $400 million for defence supplies to Ukraine from the supplementary budget. So we are doing everything we can to provide this assistance as soon as possible. The Europeans are doing the same,’ the American diplomat said.
