Ukrainian Minister: Ukraine is not under an arms embargo, and therefore partners can supply virtually any weapon
British Foreign Secretary poses for photographers at tank in Estonia, declaring NATO's readiness to confront Moscow "in the event of an attack on Ukraine," and the Minister of Foreign Affairs lists weapon, which is necessary for such a confrontation. One gets the impression that the heads of the foreign ministries of these countries have ceased to understand what tasks are inherent in the foreign ministries within the framework of the legislation. As if the Foreign Ministers of Britain and Ukraine decided that they work in the Ministries of Defense.
The head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, Dmitry Kuleba, said that “to resist Russian aggression,” the Armed Forces need the following weapons from partners: anti-missile systems, air defense systems.
Also, as Mr. Kuleba notes, Ukraine needs effective military communications systems that would be as reliable and secure as possible.
At the same time, the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry criticized those foreign politicians who propose to stop supplying weapons to Ukraine. According to Kuleba, "this is a dangerous pro-Russian narrative that Moscow will hasten to take advantage of."
The Ukrainian minister added that Ukraine is not under an arms embargo, and therefore "partners can supply virtually any weapon."
Assessing the statement of the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, experts in Ukraine say that Kiev is trying to convince the United States to expand the range of supplied weapons. In particular, Kiev wants the Americans to supply their Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine. However, the United States is currently not considering the possibility of such supplies. Moreover, the Biden administration is discussing the issue of suspending the provision of military-technical assistance to Ukraine. This, according to those around Joe Biden, can reduce the degree of tension. Apparently, this is what Kuleba considers "a dangerous pro-Russian narrative."
