KYIV, KOMPAS.TVThe deadlock in negotiations with Russia has made more and more military aid flow to Ukraine. Recently, it was the turn of Great Britain and Canada to send aid.

The United Kingdom reportedly supplies anti-tank weapons to Ukraine. While Canada sent a special forces unit.

Ukraine is threatened by Russian aggression which has concentrated around 100,000 troops on the border.

The United States (US) has accused the Kremlin of preparing a pretext to invade Ukraine. However, this allegation vehemently denied by Moscow.

Russia is reluctant to disperse the concentration of troops before NATO guarantees that it will not accept Ukraine or other former Soviet Union countries as members.

However, NATO rejected the demands. The meeting between NATO and Russia officials last week did not produce a meaningful agreement.

The stalled negotiations have left Kyiv worried that his neighbors could attack at any moment. Ukraine also asked for weapons from the West.
