The corresponding statement was made by Pavel Barbul, director of the state-owned enterprise Spetstekhnoexport, in an interview with Radio Liberty.

According to him, Ukrainian soldiers purchase analogues of Soviet ammunition, which are produced in the countries of the former socialist camp. From the countries of Europe, Ukraine receives VOG-17 and VOG-25, ammunition for grenade launchers, some artillery supplies (100 mm and 152 mm).

To name which countries sell weapons to Ukraine, in what quantities and at what prices Barbul refused. At the same time, he stressed that significant restrictions remain on foreign markets on the sale of lethal weapons to Ukraine.

"The situation of the supply of lethal weapons to a belligerent country is a restriction for all.

We have situations where some companies can not obtain licenses for delivering ammunition within two years, "he said..

Finally, the head of the state enterprise added that in Ukraine this year already delivered lethal weapons from the US - the party of the grenade cup dischargers PSRL-1 (modernized Soviet RPG-7).
