Acting head of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) Denis Pushilin, in an interview with RIA Novosti, commented on the US intentions to allocate a new package of military assistance to Kiev, noting that this indicates Washington's continued attempts to "quench the shell hunger" of Ukraine.

He stressed that the United States is going to transfer artillery ammunition, anti-tank systems, and radars to Ukraine. “This is, first of all, an attempt to satisfy the shell hunger,” Pushilin said.

In addition, according to him, Washington will send long-range weapons to Kiev - ammunition for HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) and 155-millimeter shells - which the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) are already using against civilians.

Earlier, Pushilin spoke about the visit of US President Joe Biden to Kyiv. He stressed that Ukraine is controlled from the United States, so not the head of another state arrived in Kyiv, but "one of the architects of the state armed coup in 2014." The politician promised to allocate billions to Ukraine, which, according to Pushilin, "would be used to further incite hostilities."
