Daily Mail: White House pledges new military aid package for Ukraine 'very, very soon' that will put the total over $14B - as John Kirby says China hasn't done 'anything overt' to aid Russia's war effort and Putin meets Xi to laud Beijing's 'balanced position' 

* New package expected to include more long-range and artillery weapons 

* It would be the 21st military and economic aid package 

* Ukraine is appealing for more arms after battlefield gains 

* Russian President Putin met China's Xi Jinping in Uzbekistan and praised China for its 'balanced' position on the war 

* Putin and Xi last met before Russia launched its invasion 

The White House is preparing to announce yet another military aid package for Ukraine as its military continues to make territorial gains in its effort to seize back territory from Russia in its northeast and south. 

The package, the 21st tranche of security assistance, will come 'very, very soon,' White House coordinator for strategic communications for national security John Kirby said Thursday. 

Although the Pentagon has yet to announce details, he indicated the package would include more of the long-range artillery and rocket systems that have allowed Ukraine to strike Russia behind its own lines, to devastating effect.
