Ukraine asks US for electronic warfare support to deal with Russia
Kiev has asked Washington for help in purchasing electronic warfare (EW) equipment to counter Moscow, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said in an interview with Reuters news agency.
The minister explained that he made the request during a meeting with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken last week. According to Kuleba, Kiev needs the electronic warfare equipment to “counter Russia’s ability to intercept Ukrainian communications.”

Kiev and Western countries have recently expressed their concerns about "aggressive actions"caused by Moscow in Ukraine. Specifically, Washington spoke of the escalation of "aggressive actions" and the movement of Russian troops in Crimea and the eastern border region of Ukraine.
Russia does not threaten anyone
Commenting on these statements, the Kremlin stressed that Russia is moving troops within its territory and at its own discretion. According to Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary of the Russian President, this does not threaten anyone and does not cause anyone to worry.
In addition, Moscow has repeatedly pointed out that it is not involved in the conflict in eastern Ukraine, while expressing its desire for Kiev to overcome its internal crisis.
