As the war has continued, the U.S. has repeatedly condemned Russia and President Vladimir Putin, while also supplying Ukraine with an array of different military assistance, from missiles, tanks, drones and air defense systems.

On the other hand, Putin and Russia have also criticized the U.S. for their assistance to Ukraine. Dmitry Medvedev, the former Russian president and current member of Putin’s Security Council warned that the world will become more “dangerous” if more weapons are supplied to Ukraine.
