Ukraine Russia War: Joe Biden's big announcement, America will give 'advanced rocket system' to Ukraine

US President Joe Biden made a big announcement on Tuesday amid the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine. Biden said on Tuesday that the US would provide Ukraine with an "advanced rocket system" to strike "key targets". Writing in an op-ed for the New York Times, Biden said the US goal is to "see a democratic, independent, sovereign and prosperous Ukraine with the means to deter and defend itself against further aggression," CNN reported. He added that the new consignment of weapons would 'be able to strike critical targets on the battlefield in Ukraine more precisely.'

Meanwhile, a senior administration official said the United States will unveil its 11th security aid package for Ukraine on Wednesday (local time), which will include the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS).

The US $ 700 million packages to Ukraine

"Tomorrow we will announce the 11th package of security assistance under the President's drawdown authority," an official said. That package would include long-range systems, specifically HIMARS, and warships that would enable Ukrainians to more accurately attack targets on the battlefield. The official said the package is worth US$700 million.

America does not want war between NATO and Russia

According to the official, the US does not want to see a war between NATO and Russia. He wants the ongoing conflict in Ukraine to end as soon as possible. "The second objective of President Joe Biden is that we do not want a war between NATO and Russia," the official said. The President made it clear that we do not want to directly engage in this war by sending American troops or attacking Russian forces.

'We want to see the war end as soon as possible'

"We want to see Russia end the war against Ukraine as soon as possible," the official said. On February 24, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine, when the separate republics of Donetsk and Luhansk requested help to protect them from intense attacks by Ukrainian troops.
