US Ambassador to Kiev: Ukraine will supply weapons for free

75
US Ambassador to Kiev Marie (Mary) Jovanovic said that Washington will put Ukraine lethal weapon is free. According to Ms. Jovanovic, the amount provided for the purchase of lethal weapons for Ukraine is about $ 350 million. This amount is "spelled out" in the US military budget for 2018 year. What does "free" delivery of weapons from the United States mean, many are well aware ...

The American ambassador noted that at the moment Congress did not approve the list of weapons that will be purchased for this amount for Kiev. According to Marie Yovanovic, the delivery of lethal weapons "will strengthen the security of Ukraine and allow us to do more to preserve territorial integrity." Such a statement the US ambassador in Kiev made in an interview RBC Ukraine.



US Ambassador to Kiev: Ukraine will supply weapons for free


Recall that earlier Ukraine had already received from American companies analogues of Soviet-made RPG-7 grenade launchers, as well as sniper rifles. Now we are talking about the preparation for the delivery of a party of anti-tank missile systems from the United States. Initially, it was about the Javelin ATGM, now there is information that other TOW systems can be supplied to Ukraine.

The US ambassador adds that we are now talking about the supply of lethal weapons from the US authorities, and not from private companies in a commercial manner. If so, it turns out that the US authorities openly support a new round of conflict in the Donbas.

      I join your opinion. The Americans regret that Crimea could not be made overseas by the United States and, in revenge, are doing everything to foment a war between the Slavs. The more people die on either side, the easier it is to seize Slavic lands. In fact, neither Ukrainians nor Russian Americans care, the main thing is to set up a fire in a strange house.

          There is a difference between "almost all the Indians destroyed" and, the Indians destroyed the disease that the Europeans brought. Most Indians died from diseases that Europeans infected them with, but they obviously did not do this on purpose.

              And how many percent of the Indians died from this? Again, in the Russian segment of the Internet and not only, there are a lot of myths and inventions on this subject. To do this, create a separate discussion topic.

              A good review of this and other questions regarding the Indians is, for example, here http://historynewsnetwork.org/article/7302

              In general, then the times were, to put it mildly, far from the conventions of warfare.

                Having exchanged diseases, both Indians and Europeans have long digested the "meeting"
                Oh yes .. if the white colonialist had not "exterminated" (forced out) the local natives, it is unlikely that civilization and the population of the SA would have achieved anything. We have an example of Africa, where it was not crowded out and almost completely destroyed ... that they were not noticed in a civilizational breakthrough.

        I forgot how many biological laboratories are located in Ukraine. Somewhere a map was published on the internet.
        There was an outbreak of African plague in the adjacent territories of Russia. In Ukraine itself there was an outbreak of bird flu, etc. Ukraine is becoming a testing ground for experiments on mass infection with viral infections and testing new drugs.

    Many who are outraged here, for some reason, are not surprised that -

    The trade turnover between Russia and Ukraine for 11 months of 2017 increased by 28,6 percent - up to 9,36 billion dollars

    The imports of Russian goods to Ukraine from January to November last year increased by almost 39 percent, in monetary terms this is 6,3 billion dollars compared to 2016. At the same time, the export of Ukrainian goods to Russia increased over the indicated period by 12 percent (up to 3,06 billion dollars).

    For some reason, Russia continues to cooperate with Ukraine, trade with Ukraine, commodity circulation is growing, billions of dollars from trade in Russia and Ukraine go to the budget of Ukraine, including the military, from which Ukraine pays and buys weapons for the military, including those fighting in the Donbas .

    The United States gives weapons for 350 million, and Russia pours billions into the budget of Ukraine, giving it the opportunity to buy weapons and produce weapons for the war in the Donbass.

        Just do not blame the United States, when Russia does almost the same thing giving Ukraine funds for the war in the Donbass.

    Russia will also have something to supply to private security companies to protect gas stations, shopping centers and other facilities in the territory of Donbass. And the menagerie is useful, and the carapace, and thermal imagers and equipment for anti-sniper fighting. The militias themselves will prompt.

    When did the States deliver something to someone for free?
    For every dollar invested, the state hucksters are trying to pick up a dollar twenty cents, no less.

    Half of the arable land already under Monsanta is grown by GMOs. As a result of pollination ...
    Cannon fat, a springboard for the war with Russia, Ukrainians themselves chose such a fate for extinction. How many of them wander around the world on earnings, how many in Russia. And in the Kiev organized crime group from morning till night they scream about the war with Russia, a favorite topic, a light in the window, a national dream.

    said that Washington will supply Ukraine lethal weapons for free


    and what is surprising? .Washington has been supplying weapons to terrorists in Syria for a long time and, more recently, ready-made kits for assembling drones.
    Moreover, now that Russia has destroyed many years of work and spent finances in Syria, damaging US hegemony.
    Therefore, I’m sure that they will deliver the weapons and put them in the near future and then under the Olympics, the Ukrobanderovites in the last battle to capture the DNI and LC.

    Quote: professor
    The United States is the guarantor of the territorial integrity of Ukraine, if anyone forgot.


    Yes, we remember how Donald Cook provided this guarantee by describing the eight in the Black Sea fleeing from the coast of Crimea.
    In 2014, this was the most important evidence that the United States will not fight for Ukraine against Russia, but the Ukrobandera will necessarily die for US interests.

    In general, this is a sovereign matter of the USA and Ukraine.


    if Israel would observe this by its own example, it’s constantly delivering missile and bomb attacks on the territory of Syria. And the main Jew constantly visits Putin and asks not to supply the Syrian authorities with modern weapons.
