Sharjah24 – Reuters: The first shipment of the United States' $200 million security support package for Ukraine has arrived in Kyiv, the U.S. Embassy said on Saturday (January 22).
The delivery followed U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken's visit to Kyiv this week amid concerns from Kyiv and its Western allies over tens of thousands of Russian troops stationed near the Ukrainian border, the West fears Moscow is preparing to invade. 

Russia denies planning an attack but says it could take unspecified military action if a list of demands is not met, including a promise from NATO never to admit Ukraine. Washington approved the $200 million package in December.
