President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky thanked US leader Joe Biden for approving a new $400 million aid package for our country. The package includes the transfer of four new HIMARS artillery systems to Ukraine.

According to Zelensky, this will stop a Russian terrorist shelling peaceful Ukrainian cities.. During this day alone, the Russian army shelled Nikolaev, Kharkov, Krivoy Rog and the communities of the Zaporozhye region. Violent strikes of Russian artillery in Donbass do not stop.

“The Russian army hit ordinary houses and civilian objects - quite deliberately, purposefully. There are casualties - dead, wounded. I am grateful to the United States for the decision to provide additional HIMARS systems and other weapons that allow us to take those very anti-terrorist steps and reduce Russian missile attacks on our living people, ”he said in an evening address to Ukrainians.

Together with those transferred, Ukraine will have 12 HIMARS systems. Despite the fact that our country does not yet have fire parity with Russia, these weapons are much more effective than Russian ones, and are already changing the course of the battle..

Thanks to HIMARS, Ukraine launched strikes on the rear of Russian troops in the occupied territories, undermining their ability to continue to intensively use artillery. It is not surprising that the Russian Federation periodically launches fakes about the alleged destruction of one or two systems.
