Ryder added that the US authorities are leaving it up to Kyiv to use long-range shells in Crimea.

The aid package will include air defense systems, munitions for Javelin anti-tank missile systems, and "conventional and longer-range missiles" for HIMARS.

Crimea became a Russian region after a referendum held there in March 2014: the majority of residents voted for reunification with Russia.
