0Since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the United States has provided military support to Ukraine many times. After the US government announced that it would provide another $600 million to Ukraine, the Pentagon announced that it would also provide Ukraine with two surface-to-air missile systems.
The US Pentagon said on the 16th that the two surface-to-air missile systems are expected to be delivered to Ukraine in the next two months.

According to the news released by the US Department of Defense on the same day, it includes ammunition adapted to the high-mobile rocket launcher system, etc.
Russia warned the United States not to provide long-range missiles to Ukraine
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Zakharova said on the 15th that the delivery of weapons to Ukraine in the west will lead to the extension of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and more casualties of civilians, and will also make it easy for Russia and NATO to break out of direct military conflict. Zakharova also said that if the United States decides to provide long-range missiles to Ukraine, it means that the United States will cross the red line. In this case, the United States will be regarded as a direct participant in the conflict and Russia will respond.
Some analysts pointed out that the United States continues to provide military support to Ukraine, aiming to continue the Ukrainian crisis and serve its own political and economic interests to the greatest extent.
