The US is sending a fresh $400-million-worth military aid package to Ukraine.

Russia has warned Israel that it will take retaliatory measures against the regime if it supplies Ukraine with military equipment.

Amid skepticism that a new Congress could withhold military aid to Ukraine, lawmakers from both major US parties are looking to lock in billions of dollars in military assistance to Kiev before new members are sworn in in January.

The European Union plans to ramp up its military support of Ukraine by launching what it describes as a “mission” to train 15,000 Ukrainian troops as well as providing 500 million euros in more advanced weaponry.

The US will ship to Ukraine $725 million more in military assistance, its officials have announced citing Russia's recent retaliatory strikes on Ukrainian targets.

Since the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine in late February, Kiev’s western allies have only contributed to further escalation of war.

Ukrainian forces have over the past days managed to repel Russian attacks in multiple directions and liberated swathes of territory.

The Biden administration has approved a new $600 million weapons package for Ukraine despite warnings that its military support to Kiev only fuels the flames of war in the former Soviet republic.

China has complained as a panel of the United States Senate advances a bill to significantly expand its support for Chinese Taipei.

The latest package includes $675 million to be sent shortly in arms, ammunition and supplies, among others.
