The Ukrainian military on Saturday broadcast video of what it said was the first shipment of US military aid arriving at Boryspil airport amid growing tensions with Russia.

Late Friday, the US embassy in Kyiv tweeted photos of a shipment it said had just arrived from the US, with “close to 200,000 pounds of lethal aid, including ammunition for the frontline defenders of Ukraine.” Western allies were also supplying weaponry and equipment to Ukraine.

Top U.S. and Russian diplomats agreed Friday to keep talking in the standoff over Ukraine. Moscow has repeatedly denied having plans to launch an offensive.
