Russia had complained to the Biden administration over its continued military aid to Ukraine as it warned of "unpredictable consequences".

US President Joe Biden had declared a further $800 million military aid package for Ukraine angering Putin's regime.

President Zelensky informed that he had discussed an "additional package of defensive and possible macro-financial aid" with President Biden as Ukraine seeks heavier equipment from the US to thwart the Russian invasion.

Meanwhile, reports claim ammunition, weapons and other equipment is already on its way to Ukraine after the US expanded the scope of weapons delivery to Ukraine.
