"They would not have lasted a few days without this help. This not only complicates, they are fully, 100% dependent on this assistance, "Medvedev replied in an interview with leading Russian media, including RIA Novosti, when asked how military assistance to Kiev from the outside complicates the course of the special operation.

According to him, without help from NATO, "the Kiev regime would not have lasted a week."

Earlier, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced washington's allocation of a new package of assistance to Kiev for $ 350 million.

As part of the new assistance package, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will transfer shells for HIMARS MLRS and howitzers, anti-tank weapons and HARM missiles.

According to The Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov, Washington is provoking the expansion of the geography of the crisis in Ukraine by supplying its weapons to Kiev.
