U.S. Doubles Down on Weapons Shipments

State Department spokesman, Ned Price, asserted that “nothing will dissuade us” from continuing to ship weapons to Ukraine.

This came after Russia officially warned that American and NATO weapons shipments to Ukraine are “adding fuel” and could lead to “unpredictable consequences”.

US: 'Nothing will dissuade' us from supporting Ukraine.

The Washington Post reported that it had a copy of a diplomatic note sent by Russia to U.S. claiming that U.S., NATO shipments of the “most sensitive” weapons to Ukraine could bring “unpredictable consequences.”
