The US will provide Ukraine with advanced rocket systems and other weaponry to help it fight invading forces, President Joe Biden said in a New York Times essay, adding he’s not seeking a war between NATO and Russia.

Russia’s military said it’s holding drills that involve nuclear-capable missiles but gave no indication if a test-launch is imminent.
