reported that US President Biden recently announced that as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues, the United States will provide Ukraine with "more advanced rocket launcher systems and ammunition." Biden is currently attending the G7 Leaders' Summit in Germany. This meeting will mainly discuss the Ukrainian issue. Ukrainian President Zelensky is scheduled to deliver an online speech to Biden and other G7 leaders on the 27th.

A source told CNN that the United States may also announce other military assistance this week in response to requests from Ukraine's armed forces, including the provision of additional artillery ammunition and counter-battery radar. One source said that Ukrainian officials have requested that the Norwegian Advanced Air Defense System (NASAMS) be provided to them because the system can strike targets more than 100 miles (about 160 kilometers) away, but the Ukrainian army may need to receive relevant training.

CNN pointed out that the United States has been steadily announcing more security assistance to Ukraine. Last week, the Biden administration announced an additional $450 million in military aid to Ukraine, including four multiple rocket launcher systems and ammunition for other systems. Earlier this month, the Biden administration said it would provide an additional $1 billion in military aid to Ukraine, which would include shipping more howitzers, ammunition and coastal defense systems to Ukraine.

CNN reported last week that the United States' assessment of this conflict is increasingly inclined to believe that Russia and Ukraine will engage in a long and tiring battle in eastern Ukraine, and both sides will lose a large number of personnel and equipment. U.S. officials believe that Russian forces plan to continue a vigorous offensive in eastern Ukraine and use heavy artillery and guided missiles with the goal of weakening the resolve of the Ukrainian military and NATO over time.

CNN said that as far as Ukraine is concerned, its army is running out of Soviet-era ammunition needed for its old equipment, and Western governments have been facing the difficult decision of whether to continue to increase aid to Ukraine. "We will continue to lead the world in providing historic assistance to support Ukraine's fight for freedom," Biden wrote in an op-ed in the New York Times last month. (Editor: HHJ)
