In part of the weapon supplied to Ukraine, "expired expiration period" - Prystayko
The Ukrainian diplomat responded to criticism of some American politicians on the scale of military support provided by Ukraine. Prystayko noted that US citizens should not worry about the amount of assistance of the Armed Forces, since part of the military equipment sent to Ukraine is relatively old. "In some of the equipment is expired. We joke that if you want to dispose of it, give us. We will send to the right direction. In normal, peacetime, no one would like to say in such statements.
And now, why would No? ", - said the Ambassador of Ukraine. Prystayko emphasized that, depriving the weapons of the old sample, the United States is able to increase the income of their companies and workers. The ambassador also mentioned how the dynamics of weapons supply to Ukraine by Western countries changed. He reported that he considers progress in this issue "naturally", but added that he did not expect Ukraine to acquire Patriot. "We have never been waiting for the patriot system.
Seriously, this is a first -class anti -missile system that could not be discussed at all. I think, with tanks, helicopters and even aircraft is now much easier," Prystayko said. The publication also indicated that in the last week, Ukraine has received promises from the United States and a number of European countries on the supply of Bradley, AMX-10 RC and Marder combat vehicles.
We will remind that according to the Minister of Foreign Affairs Dmitry Kuleba, in 2023 the Armed Forces will receive from the Allies the equipment that they could not receive in the previous year. At a briefing, on January 4, the Minister announced active diplomatic work on providing tanks and other armored vehicles to Ukraine. Focus also wrote that on January 3, it became known about the negotiations between Vladimir Zelensky and Risha Sunak.
