US President Joe Biden announced that the Washington administration has received commitments from five countries to enhance Ukraine's air defense capabilities by delivering Patriot air defense missile systems and other systems.
“ We have now received commitments from five countries for Patriot systems and other air defense systems. Everything we have, we will move to Ukraine until their needs are met and then we will fulfill our obligations to other countries, ” Biden said.
Ukraine confirms deep attack on Russia with Western weapons . Head of Ukraine's Defense Intelligence Agency Kirill Budanov said that the country's army used Western weapons to launch long-range attacks on Russian territory.
According to Mr Budanov, the West's relaxation of the rules on the use of weapons aid has made things easier for Ukraine and Russia has felt the impact. However, he stressed, the situation has stopped at that level.
In addition, when talking about Russia's "red lines", Mr. Budanov said that in fact such red lines already exist, but Ukraine has crossed them several times.
At the same time, Mr. Budanov admitted that the current situation in Kharkov is very serious. Therefore, he called on Western countries to provide Ukraine with more air defense systems.

US - Ukraine sign 10-year security agreement . US President Joe Biden and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky signed a 10-year security agreement, aiming to increase Washington's support for Kiev.
Mr. Biden stated that the US and many other countries' moves were to "help Kiev defend itself now, as well as prevent potential attacks in the future."
“ The United States will help Ukraine ensure both, not by sending American troops to fight, but by providing weapons and ammunition, expanding intelligence sharing, and training Ukrainian soldiers ,” Mr. Biden expressed.
Ukrainian leader Zelensky said Kiev and Washington had signed the “strongest” agreement ever.
“ The philosophy of the security agreement between Ukraine and the United States is fundamentally the philosophy of the NATO military bloc. The United States supports Ukraine’s future membership in NATO and recognizes our security agreement as a bridge to Ukraine’s membership in NATO ,” Zelensky stressed.
The US assesses the situation of Russian forces in Kharkiv . US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said that the advance of Russian forces in the Kharkiv province in northeastern Ukraine is slowing and the front line is stabilizing after some allies allowed Kiev to use weapons aid to attack Russian territory.
“ What I see is a slowing of the Russian advance and a stabilization of part of that front ,” said Mr. Austin.
“ A few weeks ago, there was concern that we would see a significant breakthrough from Russia. I don’t think we’ll see that continue ,” Secretary Austin stressed, asserting that Ukraine is making good use of its aid weapons.
