From RFE/RL's News Desk:

U.S. officials quoted by U.S. media outlets say potential lethal military aid for Ukraine could include Javelin antitank missiles.

The Javelin is a self-guided, short-range antitank missile that can be carried by a team of two foot soldiers.

The unnamed officials say other military aid options for Ukraine could involve foreign military sales, training, or the delivery of armored vehicles, small arms, and ammunition.

So far, the United States has provided only nonlethal assistance to Ukraine's military -- such as body armor, medical supplies, radio communications systems, and night-vision goggles.

U.S. State Department spokesman Jen Psaki said on February 3 that Washington's focus remains "on pursuing a solution through diplomatic means."
