Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy meets with Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and his deputy Wednesday in Kyiv. READ MORE: U.S. President Joe Biden said Tuesday he decided to provide Ukraine with “more advanced rocket systems and munitions” as part of U.S. efforts to help the country fight against a Russian invasion that is now in its fourth month. In an opinion piece in The New York Times, Biden wrote that the United States had provided Ukraine with weapons and ammunition to bolster its position on the battlefield and ultimately in peace negotiations with Russia. “Unprovoked aggression, the bombing of maternity hospitals and centers of culture, and the forced displacement of millions of people makes the war in Ukraine a profound moral issue,” Biden said. The decision to send more advanced weapons follows earlier reluctance on the part of the Biden administration. Biden himself said Monday that the United States would not send rockets “that can strike into Russia.” The Associated Press cited senior administration officials as saying that the new weapons package, set to be detailed Wednesday, includes medium-range rockets that can travel about 70 kilometers. The officials also said that Ukraine had given assurances that its forces would not fire rockets into Russian territory. Biden wrote Tuesday that he does not seek war with Russia. https://www.voanews.com/a/us-to-send-advanced-rocket-systems-to-ukraine/6598106.html » Subscribe to VOA News: https://bit.ly/3KIPysi » Watch more VOA News video: https://www.youtube.com/c/VOANews Voice of America (VOA) is the largest U.S. international broadcaster, providing news and information in more than 40 languages to an estimated weekly audience of 236.8 million people.
