< strong _ngcontent-sc88="">Ukraine in the war with Russia uses Soviet and the latest weapons provided to our state by partners. At the same time, the Armed Forces of Ukraine need long-range weapons.
The United States is ready to provide Ukraine with long-range systems
This was stated by White House spokesman John Kirby, who noted that the Ukrainian military still needs Soviet weapons. He noted that the United States is striving to maintain a balance in the supply of military assistance to Ukraine.
Kirby said that in the first weeks of the war, Ukraine received former Soviet equipment, which our military was trained to use and knew how to use it.< /p>
There is still a need for this (Soviet weapons – Channel 24). I mean, they are still using these systems,” said a White House spokesman.
According to Kirby, after three months of war, more and more talk about artillery for the Donbass. Ukraine needs long-range systems that the United States is ready to provide to our state.
In order, as noted in the White House, part of the Ukrainian military must be withdrawn from hostilities in order to teach them how to use a new type of weapon.
So we want to make sure we strike the right balance here: they get the systems they're used to, and the systems they need, without unnecessarily reducing their combat readiness in the field,” Kirby explained.
