CNN: First US shipment of recently directed security assistance arrives in Ukraine
(CNN)The first US shipment of recently directed security assistance has arrived in Ukraine, the US Embassy in Kyiv tweeted Friday night.
The shipment "includes close to 200,000 pounds of lethal aid, including ammunition for the front line defenders of Ukraine," according to the tweet.
The development comes as the US has sought to convince Moscow to de-escalate the situation at the Ukrainian border, where Russia has amassed more than 100,000 troops.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned Friday that any Russian invasion of Ukraine would be "met with a severe and a united response."
