Revealing the list of US weapons transferred to Ukraine

According to the US Department of Defense, $2.4 billion has been allocated for the supply of weapons to Ukraine.

A US Department of Defense memo released by the White House provides specific amounts of weapons that have been sent to Ukraine. This includes 1,400 Stinger air defense systems, more than 5,000 Javelin anti-tank systems, more than 7,000 small arms and 50 million rounds of ammunition.

In addition, the Armed Forces of Ukraine received from the US 45,000 sets of armor and helmets, laser guidance for missile systems, night vision devices, thermal and optical imaging systems, as well as various types of equipment. other weapons.

At the same time, Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba at the recent meeting of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) continued to request the supply of weapons from this military alliance.

“My agenda (when it comes to this meeting) is simple. There are only three things: Weapons, weapons, and weapons – that’s the best way to help Ukraine against Russia,” Kuleba said.

According to British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, NATO member countries support increasing arms aid to Ukraine.

“Countries support the supply of newer and heavier equipment to Ukraine, which can help it cope with the new threat from Russia. We also agreed to assist the Ukrainian armed forces in converting Soviet-era equipment to NATO-standard equipment, on a bilateral basis,” Truss said.

Previously, NATO countries had provided Ukraine with anti-tank missiles, drones, ammunition and some defensive weapons before and after the outbreak of hostilities in Ukraine. However, NATO refused to provide other types of weapons, rejecting Kiev’s request for a no-fly zone for fear of a direct clash with Russia.

Meanwhile, Russia has always opposed NATO’s arms supply to Ukraine.

“We have warned the US that pumping weapons to Ukraine from a number of countries is both a dangerous move and turns these convoys into a legitimate target,” Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said.

Most recently, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the West’s arms supply to Ukraine harms prospects for ending the war, because it is not a way to contribute to the success of peace talks between the two countries. Russia and Ukraine.
