“Washington has once again demonstrated how much it has lost touch with reality, having actually become a party to the conflict,” Zakharova said during a briefing.

She recalled the agreement reached in the US Congress on the allocation of a new assistance package to Ukraine in the amount of almost $12 billion.

“What is it for?

To schools?

Hospitals?

Paying financial support to the poor?

Fighting a pandemic?

Of course not.

The lion's share will again go to the purchase of weapons for Kyiv and will be absorbed in the pockets of those who allocate all this, ”Zakharova noted.

She stressed that soon the amount of American financial support for the Ukrainian authorities will reach an “astronomical amount” of $26 billion.

Earlier, US President Joe Biden approved the allocation of a new $675 million military aid package to Ukraine.

According to US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, Western aid to Kyiv is designed for the long term.
