White House national security spokesperson John Kirby says Washington was very concerned about the 'deepening and burgeoning defense partnership' between Iran and Russia.
KYIV, Ukraine – The United States announced new military aid for Ukraine on Friday, December 9, and vowed to disrupt Russian ties with Iran, which a British envoy said involved Moscow seeking hundreds of ballistic missiles and offering unprecedented military support in return.to attack targets in Ukraine, where officials warned on Friday of a winter-long power deficit after repeated Russian attacks on its energy infrastructure.
Washington was sending a $275 million package of aid to Ukraine to strengthen air defenses and defeat drones, he said.Britain’s UN Ambassador Barbara Woodward said Iran had sent hundreds of drones that Russia had used in Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier said Moscow would probably do a deal over Ukraine one day but that Russia’s near-total loss of trust in the West would make an eventual settlement, which he did not elaborate on, much harder to reach.
On the ground in Ukraine, the entire front line in the east of the country was being shelled, said the governor of the Donetsk region, which is partly occupied by Russia. Five civilians were killed and two wounded in Ukrainian-controlled areas, the governor said. He later specifically criticized France and Germany, which in 2014 and 2015 brokered ceasefire accords between Kyiv and Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine, saying they had betrayed Moscow by supplying Ukraine with weapons.
