What weapon Ukraine will receive from lend-lease is still unknown/Getty images
Under Lend-Lease, 15-20 billion dollars are provided for our weapons, it is worth noting that this is a significant amount and is already very important. But what exactly this weapon will be is still unknown.
The head of the Anti-Corruption Action Center Vitaly Shabunin told Channel 24. He also noted that there is a certain procedural nuance, our government works well with the Biden administration and we receive weapons under his program.
“We are also working well with the Pentagon – we also get weapons there. But these two programs are somewhat limited in the variety of weapons that they can provide – these are weapons from warehouses. And there is also a third program – the US Congress, by the way, the Iron Dome system in Israel is financed precisely from this program,” explains Vitaly Shabunin.
Its peculiarity is that you can order weapons in advance and order modern weapons, for many weeks in a row we have been persuading the authorities to concentrate on this particular arms delivery program for Ukraine. says Shabunin.
President Zelensky consolidated the American society in helping us, including with weapons. And society is closer to congressmen, so it will be easier for us to work with representatives of the American people than with Biden, the head of the CTC explains.
High-precision missiles capable of hitting targets several hundred kilometers away. It is also very important to get drones, additional air defense/missile defense systems (air and missile defense) and ammunition, said Yermak, head of the Office of the President of Ukraine.
Andrey Yermak additionally highlighted the MLRS-270 multiple launch rocket systems . It comes in different modifications: the smallest range is 32 kilometers, the largest is 300 kilometers. It all depends on ammunition.
On May 19, the US Senate passed an extremely large financial support for Ukraine – $40 billion. It is worth adding that only part of this money will go specifically to armaments. For example, 4.4 billion were allocated for the supply of food to Ukraine and other states. US President Joe Biden has already signed this law.
When will Lend-Lease help become tangible
Public figure and volunteer Serhiy Prytula explains that there is no clear understanding now , what volumes of aid and when they will begin to arrive in Ukraine thanks to Lend-Lease. However, there are rough ideas of how pre-delivery logistics looks like. According to Pritula, we need to wait a month to see the first results from Lend-Lease.
