This came a day after he promised to send an additional \u00a3100 million (U.S. $130 million) of high-grade military equipment to Ukraine, saying Britain wants to help Ukraine defend itself against Russian aggression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the United States, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2022\/04\/07\/putins-probably-given-up-on-kyiv-as-ukraine-war-enters-new-phase\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mark Milley<\/a> forecast the war\u2019s new phase will play out in flat, open terrain and will increasingly involve armor and artillery. On Monday, a senior defense official said the Pentagon will send arms to Ukraine for that fight, including more<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/2022\/04\/06\/more-javelins-for-ukraine-amid-questions-about-us-supplies\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Javelin anti-tank weapons<\/a> as well as counter-artillery radars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI don\u2019t think they\u2019re in Ukraine yet, but they\u2019re on the move,\u201d the Pentagon official said of the Javelins. \u201cThat\u2019s a very specific example of how we\u2019re trying to help the Ukrainians in this particular new phase of the conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thwarted in its early plan for a quick takeover of the capital Kyiv, Russia is resupplying and reinforcing its invasion force in eastern Ukraine with an 8-mile convoy of vehicles. The group, which includes command-and-control support and possibly helicopters for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/flashpoints\/ukraine\/2022\/04\/11\/russia-says-it-hits-ukraine-air-defenses-before-eastern-push\/\" target=\"_blank\">air support<\/a>, is apparently headed toward Izium in the Kharkiv region of eastern Ukraine \u2015 all while Russia is reinforcing its positions southwest of Donetsk with artillery units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The action comes as Ukrainian Foreign Minister <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2022\/02\/23\/pentagon-studying-fallback-supply-lines-to-ukraine-in-case-of-expanded-russian-invasion\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dmytro Kuleba<\/a> called for more weapons for his country, and stronger sanctions against Moscow, during meetings with NATO foreign ministers in Brussels last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ahead of the talks, Kuleba said his agenda was \u201cvery simple \u2015 it has only three items on it: It\u2019s weapons, weapons and weapons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A $100 million package of U.S. security assistance announced last week included Javelins, four counter-artillery and counter-UAV tracking radars, four counter-mortar radar systems, armored Humvees, and laser-guided rocket systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Czech Republic became the first NATO member to send tanks to Ukraine, which included T-72 and BVP-1 infantry fighting vehicles, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/europe\/czech-republic-sends-tanks-ukraine-czech-tv-reports-2022-04-05\/\" target=\"_blank\">Reuters reported<\/a> last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The package of military aid Britain announced last week includes more Starstreak anti-aircraft missiles, another 800 anti-tank missiles and precision munitions capable of lingering in the sky until directed to their target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUkraine has defied the odds and pushed back Russian forces from the gates of Kyiv, achieving the greatest feat of arms of the 21st century,\u2033 Johnson said in a statement. \u201cIt is because of President Zelenskyy\u2019s resolute leadership and the invincible heroism and courage of the Ukrainian people that [Russian President Vladimir] Putin\u2019s monstrous aims are being thwarted.\u2033<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a trickier political question in Germany, where Chancellor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2022\/02\/27\/scholz-proposes-100-billion-euro-defense-fund-vows-to-exceed-nato-spending-goal\/\" target=\"_blank\">Olaf Scholz<\/a> is reportedly delaying a final decision on whether to send German tanks to Ukraine. While the Defence Ministry argues it needs them for its own use, German Foreign Minister <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2022\/01\/19\/germany-holds-its-ground-on-denying-weapons-for-ukraine\/\" target=\"_blank\">Annalena Baerbock<\/a> said Monday that Ukraine needs \u201cheavy weapons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNow is not the time for excuses; now is the time for creativity and pragmatism,\u201d Baerbock said at a meeting of European Union foreign affairs ministers in Luxembourg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russia warned Thursday that supplying weapons to Ukraine would thwart ongoing peace negotiations between the two countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPumping weapons into Ukraine will not contribute to the success of Russian-Ukrainian talks,\u201d Kremlin spokesperson
