Russian President Vladimir Putin describes the US Patriot air defence system to be delivered to Ukraine as outdated, adding the Russian military knows how to counter them.

"Everyone knows that North Korea has not been supplying any weapons to Russia for a long time. And no such efforts have even been made," he said in a statement.In November, after the White House said Pyongyang was covertly supplying Russia with a "significant" number of artillery shells, North Korea said it had never had arms dealings with Russia and had no plans to do so.Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume.
In addition to the $US1.85 billion military aid package, Ukraine also stands to receive an additional $US44.9 billion in US aid as part of a massive government spending bill the Senate approved on Thursday.
