The US House of Representatives on Thursday passed legislation loosening requirements for engaging in lend-lease deals for defense equipment with Ukraine and other Eastern European countries, paving the way for more US arms to flow into the region amid Russia's special military operation.
This comes after Joe Biden said the US is "not attacking Russia, but is helping Ukraine defend itself", after asking Congress for $33 billion in new assistance for Kiev.
The Russian military earlier warned the West against pumping Kiev government with weapons which could end up in the hands of terrorists, but said it will not change the outcome of the special operation.
Russia launched the military operation in February after the Donetsk and Lugansk people's republics appealed for help in defending against Kiev aggression. Since 2014, the Russian-speaking populations of Donbass has been subjected to "genocide" by the Ukrainian government, President Putin has said. The main aim of the special operation is the "denazification" and "demilitariziation" of Ukraine.
