Translate the fight with Russia on a war footing conceive American hawks. But they want to do it with the hands of Ukrainians. To this end, it is proposed to supply modern lethal weapons to the most conflict points.. To this, in particular, urged former US Ambassador to Ukraine John Herbst. Speaking at a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Parliament of Canada, he said that Kiev’s Javelin complexes alone are not enough to win in the confrontation with Moscow on Azov.

“It is in the interests not only of Ukraine, but also of the West to provide Ukraine with weapons, in particular, ground-to-ground and ground-to-sea missiles, in order to make possible Russian landing operations with disembarkation vulnerable,” Herbst says. In May 2018. Americans transferred to the Ukrainian side 210 missiles and 37 launch blocks of portable anti-tank complexes Javelin. In total for the current year Kiev received from the USA, Great Britain, Canada and Lithuania weapons and military hardware for $ 40 million.. In the US budget for 2019. pledged $ 250 million to military aid to Ukraine.
