The Ukrainian Defense Ministry is set to investigate reports of delays in the delivery of certain elements of previously issued defense aid packages from the United States.
Is US Defense Aid Really Being Delayed?
“Ukraine has not received any official messages about the suspension or revision of the schedules for the delivery of agreed defense assistance, so we are proceeding from the actual data and checking the details of each element in the delivery,” the department’s statement says.
In addition, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense requested a telephone conversation with colleagues from the United States to further clarify details, which they plan to announce in the near future.
– Certain individuals in Ukraine who are now giving public comments on this situation, for objective reasons, do not have all the factual data. Please pay attention to official and verified information from reliable sources, – the Ministry of Defense noted.
It is noted that for Ukraine, sustainability, continuity and predictability in the provision of coordinated defense assistance are critically important, especially when it comes to strengthening air defense.
Now watching
The Ministry expressed gratitude to the United States for all its support and assistance, and stressed that the path to ending the war lies through consistent and joint pressure on the aggressor, as well as through continued support for Ukraine.
Earlier, Western media, citing their own sources, reported that the Pentagon had temporarily stopped deliveries of Patriot and GMLRS to Ukraine. There is no official confirmation of this information yet.
