Biden to discuss Ukraine's military requests

U.S. President Joe Biden said he would discuss Ukraine's latest requests for advanced weapons needed to repel Russian attacks. The U.S. president ruled out sending F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine, according to a statement by the US president. Ukraine's president Zelensky has been calling for more powerful and advanced weapons, despite Russia showing no signs of slowing down its attacks. The United States is preparing a new military aid package worth more than 2 billion USD, which is expected to include missiles, but also include equipment for Patriot air defense systems and Javelin anti-tank weapons.

The Ukrainian presidential office's head Andriy Yermak called for the European Union to supply his country with various weapons. He pointed out that a postponement of military aid or the tenth package of sanctions against Russia carried huge risks. The Russians are trying to revive their empire. Ukraine is just the stepping stone to the dominance of the continent, according to Yermak, who said that Ukraine's support for Europe's security means that it's a stepping stone to the dominance of the continent.

Vladimir Putin has instituted a special regime in the regions of Russia bordering Ukraine over increased risk of terrorism, according to BNR correspondent in Moscow. The decree was in effect for the first time in the spring and has been renewed every 15 days since then. It provides thorough inspections of cars that move between the areas specified in the document. According to another order from Putin, the Russian foreign and military ministries have to sign an agreement with Belarus in order to establish joint military combat training centers.
