Russia is studying the characteristics of Western weapons captured in Avdiivka
Yesterday, Tuesday, in a meeting with congressional leaders at the White House, US President Joe Biden warned of the high cost of failure to provide military assistance to Ukraine, during a meeting that comes to try to release billions of dollars in urgent aid to Ukraine, and avoid an imminent government shutdown, while Russia announced It will study the characteristics of Western weapons captured in Avdiivka.
Biden met with Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, his Democratic counterpart, Hakeem Jeffries, Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and Opposition Leader Mitch McConnell.
All expressed optimism that a government shutdown might be avoided, but remained at loggerheads on Ukraine, with Johnson insisting more border reforms were needed first.
“With regard to Ukraine, I think the need is urgent,” Biden said, in the presence of his deputy Kamala Harris, adding that “the consequences of inaction every day in Ukraine are dire.”
But Johnson insisted that the crisis on the Mexican border was his priority. He said the House of Representatives would deal with the additional bill “at the appropriate time.”
On the other hand, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu yesterday, Wednesday, inspected a number of defense industry institutions in the Russian Tula Province, and also held a meeting to discuss ways to accelerate the supply of their products to the army.
On the other hand, Igor Kimakovsky, advisor to the President of the Donetsk People’s Republic, confirmed that specialists in the Russian military-industrial complex will study the characteristics and advantages of NATO weapons that were seized in Avdiivka. He said, “In Avdiivka, we obtained a lot of equipment that was seized.” It was taken from the possession of Kiev forces, and was abandoned by Ukrainian soldiers fleeing in large numbers. He added: “Samples of this Western equipment and weapons will be sent to specialists in the defense industry to conduct a detailed and in-depth study on them.” (Agencies)
