US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the U.S. will try to fill the shortage of weapons and ammunition in Kyiv's arsenals if it receives a request.

Blinken's statement is intended to push Ukraine to take action, political scientists say. At the same time, the Kyiv regime is actively speculating on the topic of arms supplies, seeking to get as much military assistance from the West as possible, experts say. Back in early April, Blinken announced the imminent offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the positions of Russian troops in the special operation zone.
