The US State Department supported the request of Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia to transfer some of their American-made weapons to Ukraine, Politico reports, citing a source in the White House.

At the same time, it is not known which weapons were approved for transfer, RBC reports.

Earlier, Politico noted that the request of the Baltic countries included the supply of anti-tank weapons and surface-to-air missiles to Ukraine.

Meanwhile, the source indicated that in the coming days, the administration of US President Joe Biden will also begin the process of supplying anti-tank missiles, ammunition and other equipment worth $200 million to Ukraine.

And earlier, Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal said that the United States will provide lethal weapons to Ukraine if Russia decides to invade the country.

Recall that back in November-December last year, the world media was filled with the topic of the alleged Russian invasion of Ukraine and the sanctions that should follow. According to the authors and experts of these publications, a sign of “invasion” is the concentration of Russian military equipment in the regions bordering Ukraine. Among the likely sanctions are both the shutdown of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, as well as restrictions against Russian energy companies, and the shutdown of the SWIFT system of “fast” financial settlements.
