Volker: military assistance to Kiev will not be limited to the supply of Javelin complexes

Kurt Walker, the special representative of the US State Department for Ukraine, said that the supply of Javelin anti-tank complexes would be only a part of military aid to Kiev.

As you know, during the Obama administration, the United States also provided security assistance to Ukraine, but there was a clear limitation: there should not be anything lethal. The Trump administration has removed this limitation from the time of Obama. This expands the capabilities of the United States to support Ukraine. Yes, Javelin will be part of such help, but it is a question of much more. Our goal is to fill the gaps in the armament of the Ukrainian army, raising the ability of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to defend their territory.

- said Volker in an interview with the European Truth.

According to him, the United States will use a combined approach to whether this weapon will be sold to Ukraine or provided free of charge.

We keep the policy of security assistance, which is provided free of charge, but at the same time, Ukraine gets the right to buy weapons that it lacks

- added Volker.

Last year, the White House approved a plan to provide Ukraine with a lethal weapons, including 35 Javelin launchers. The Minister of Defense of Ukraine Stepan Poltorak stated that he had reached “full understanding” on this issue with the head of the Pentagon, James Mattis, and the weapons would be transferred “timely and very deliberately,” RIA News.

The American side assured that the Javelin complexes will get to Kiev for free. At the same time, its use is rather expensive, since one shot from ATGN costs $ 80 thousand, and the cost of the complex itself, which has six missiles, is $ 1,3 million.

Washington is actively deploying its second front in its proxy war in Syria against Russia - now directly at the very borders of the Russian Federation, i.e. in Ukraine.
It is time for the civilian population of Ukraine to scrape away from Ukraine far away and as soon as possible! Where will this civilian population run and what country of these Ukrainian refugees will take to their place? That's the question! I think no!
For example, before the TMV, Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany refused to accept all countries in fact! Even Poland did not accept Jews with Polish citizenship back from Germany! They, the Jews, as the "extra" population were no one needed.

[Anarchist]

we maintain a security assistance policy that is provided free of charge,

There are two questions:
1) Whose safety?
2) What is cheese in a mousetrap today?

[Warrior with machine gun]

everyone throws scum of firewood into the fire, and wherever possible, the pace of chaos increases, in different turbulent regions in different ways, but the trend is the same. When will the same start to be organized near the amertish borders?

Hi Zhenya. They have few neighbors, otherwise they would have already pounded the restless batteries ... Canada is under the USA, and Mexico is weak. And they won’t let Mexico rise to save Texas!

[Warrior with machine gun]

Sanya , a dog with her with Canada, but Mexico and all that is fuels farther south (taking into account how much of this fuel is already in the states), these ones to attack, to speed up the Maidan in our homelands, we need true dense financial bases, which we hardly pull, so it is necessary to kick the Chinese, let them leaf, the monkey on the river bank will not be able to sit out, it’s time to at least a "cunning" dragon or the Americans gave them an honest "American" that they will never do anything to them))

[Sergey Suvorov Ria]

do not rush, let us calmly first re-elect Putin and hold the World Cup in Russia ... by the way, Putin has already said that he will not allow Novorossia to be torn to pieces by Bandera. everything is going according to plan, big changes are coming after the March 18 elections!

[Sergey Suvorov Ria]

(about changes) I meant the personnel shifts in our government, and as for the offensive ... why can't LDNR start a large-scale liberation of Donbass from the acupuncture Bandera troops, all the more so Poroshenko-Waltzman trampled Minsk 2 with its decree on "reintegration"?

[Warrior with machine gun]

and a positive decision is more difficult ((

[Sergey Suvorov Ria]

so you can reason if you do not see the full picture, do you think everything is easy for us in Russia? and you know that after the collapse of the USSR, Russia emerged as one of the most economically destroyed countries + the eltsinoid killed us for 9 years .... now we just got on our feet and you demand new adventures, Crimea came on a legal basis, South Ossetia and Abkhazia after the attack on us (peacekeepers) .... well, what can I advise you - attack the Nazis, and if necessary we will help.

[dSK]

every day procrastination

You don’t need to rush, in order to defeat the enemy by a weight category an order of magnitude larger (1/10 military budget) you need calm, calmness and endurance. "A Russian man harnesses for a long time, but drives fast."

About "we will not give offense .." already was. We are waiting for the new "we will not give."

nobody needs a war, except for the United States, where they have learned to profit from it, but to calmly watch how a hostile state is arming next to us, too, somehow not so ...

why do the same Israel openly declares that it will not allow Iran to gain a foothold in Syria and generally strengthen militarily, and Turkey is conducting a military operation on foreign land under the pretext of combating terrorism, why should we, in response to arms supplies Ukraine, do not strike with “calibers” at a couple of military facilities in Ukraine, why are we quietly observing how cruise missiles are developed there, why the Yuzhmash have still not been razed to the ground, or are we waiting for them to launch their missiles in Belgorod?

In short, the stripes allowed Ukraine to fight Russia until the last Ukrainian!

[yashka12007]

So it’s necessary to extinguish Ukrainians faster, and then we will have more victims later.

[Altona]

Here is a broad outline of the US position on the Minsk Agreements. No agreements, more killings on both sides. For some reason, our Foreign Ministry is silent asymmetrically in response to such remarks to supply Ukraine with lethal weapons. The US officially becomes a party to the conflict.

[afrikanez]

help to Kiev is not limited to the supply of Javelin complexes

Feeding.. Then the EU will thank you very much!

[HAM]

It’s right that the Yankees immediately write the cost of “javelins”, there will be no need for Ukrainians to climb sales sites in search of a favorable price.

[German Titov]

While you didn’t poke your Amer’s beak with syudy, life was more or less. Now Gordon has already declared that Russia has muddied the Maidan in Kukevka. And in the pants she spoiled dill. In addition to hatred at the present time, I have no feelings left. Some 40 km. I can’t drive to bury my father. We will “love” so that we change our shoes in the air.

Obviously, our Foreign Ministry, after similar statements, was numb or they cannot pick up the correct words Are liberals there too?

Americans have ordered the project "Ukraine" a ticket to the next world. They deprived the Ukrainian authorities of any option to retreat (only forward and commit suicide).
Amerikosy deliveries and Poroshenko future offensive will completely untie Russia's hands.

[Metallurg_2]

Do not forget to send the pampers: when the most powerful army in Europe will advance towards the Dnieper, aligning the front line - they will be very handy.

[Antares]

it is more political help than strategic.
Obtaining information from the Global Hawk is more valuable than ATGMs, however, a large number of tanks and other armored vehicles like the Ordilo and the winds will be difficult to stop without ATGMs.
However, the anti-tank systems only strengthen the position, but the swing does not swing strongly. All the same, they play a long one.
besides reader excitement is not clear? One country recognized by the Russian Federation supplies weapons to another country recognized by the Russian Federation (nominally against ORDILO and winds, and not the Russian Federation itself). Or are there provisions in the Big Treaty that the United States and others should not ensure territorial integrity? That's who can, who is the fuel, who is the weapon ...

[Kerensky]

Have you put at least one complex? Although they trained one calculation? Or I overslept everything ...
From the comments on these "deliveries" a fair amount of file will come out.

[Urantian]

The Yankees will not calm down until the Ukrainians under the Russian hammers fail ..., it's like a glass fool ..... th hand in hand, so that he broke his forehead ...
