Russia-Ukraine tensions could be amplified by the arrival of U.S. security aid in Kyiv

The first shipment of security assistance from the U.S. has arrived in Ukraine. It includes nearly 200,000 pounds of military equipment and ammunition for frontline defenders. This comes after the U.S. and Russia's top diplomats met in Geneva to deescalate tensions. CBS News correspondent Christina Ruffini has the latest. Then, retired CIA chief of Russian operations Steve Hall explains the impact of security assistance.

All our leaders should go into an arena and battle out the issues. Bet not one would be mad then.

I distinctly remember the line "it's just military exercises" on the borders of Georgia before they invaded.

I'm sick of war. Praying for peace.

"Trump is going to start WWIII because he's an angry idiot!" Nope, it was Joe Biden and his chickenhawks the entire time.

The handshake between the two diplomats says it all. Blinkin couldn't wait to get his hand away and the two facial comparisons are great.

Russia Ukraine tensions *could* be mitigated by Russia/putin pulling back his troops from the Russia Ukraine border too.

its 2022 and we still have countries wanting to fight each other sadly despite what history has taught us sadly.

Once Germany and Russia have control over oil and gas the hardships will unload on us like a train full of Amazon packages in California.

ldlot media portrays helping people defend themselves as a problem.

I always call upon the CIA when I want to know the truth about what’s happening and not the propagandized version of it.🙄

"Security Assistance" is when you fit a good lock on your grandmother's backdoor. The phrase I think you are looking for is "weapons shipments".

President Potato Head is going to blow this as badly as everything else that he's done. Heaven help us.

Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union (and Russia Empire before that) until the 1990s. This is family business between them. Not something to start WW3 over.

“It Could be amplifying”? Or, “it Is amplifying”. The difference seems small. But it’s the difference between real and useful NEWS, and “clickbait”.

Love the necklace! All that money spent on dipping into other people's business while there are hungry people, homelessness and poor infrastructure that needs attention right here in good ole ununited States . A fool and his money shall surely depart!

Better keep the Ukrainian government happy. Some bad news might come out about the Biden.

[williammadray]

We just can not keep our nose out of others business. Mark my words the dynamic duo need a victory and they think this is it.

I find it shocking so many Americans are using Russians talking points.
