Ukrainian Ambassador to the United States: Part of the US military aid in 2022 will go to "lethal defense"

42

The Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States of America O. Markarova told reporters about the military assistance provided by Washington to the Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU). According to Oksana Markarova, cooperation with the United States continues to deepen. For 2022, Washington has planned to provide military assistance to Ukraine in the amount of $ 300 million.

The Ukrainian ambassador to the United States said that part of the finances will go to "lethal defense". In this case, such a phrase means lethal weapon, which, according to Kyiv, is planned to be used exclusively for defensive purposes. However, after the use of the Turkish shock drone "Bayraktar" according to the positions of the NM of the DPR, as well as after the use of American Javelin anti-tank systems in the Donbass, the term "defense" can hardly be called true.



According to Oksana Markarova, "there is also a second component of military assistance." Moreover, the Ukrainian ambassador added that in this component "there is something that cannot be said, but the Ukrainian side will try very hard to get it." The specific version of the weapons was not named.
Also, the Ambassador of Ukraine to Washington noted that the Armed Forces of Ukraine receive assistance from the United States in the form of additional funding through the President of the United States. For this, the White House may issue an appropriate decree.

Recall that in 2021, the Armed Forces received from the United States decommissioned Island-class patrol boats, sniper rifles, electronic countermeasures, and Javelin ATGMs. At the same time, in Ukraine, the General Staff sounded statements that "I would like to receive American air defense systems, including the Patriot air defense system." So far, the US authorities do not dare to transfer such complexes to Ukraine.

        Oh, how it reminds me of what happened.
        However, nothing special or unexpected.
        When the West creates another showcase / icon of its own well-being, it turns out / is visible ... a bright wrapper, at least at first !!! and then, when the task is completed, the wrapper will come off ...
        But this is not an option for the extreme, there was purposefully needed a beggar, angry people ... who will be shown the enemy, a caring big "brother".
        In general, the method was not developed yesterday, but .... it works, over and over again.

      Most likely, articles of this kind from third-party resources (in foreign languages) are translated in an online translator with subsequent revision.

    Lethal defense was already in Afghanistan. Strongly promoted the lethal drug business. Now the Taliban are arranging the supply of the fruits of lethal defense to Yu.ES.H. From such a defense in / on / for / under / Ukraine, the size of cemeteries can increase in proportion to the increase in supplies. This amount of green paper must be divided; when dividing, losses are inevitable.
