Without protection against ballistics: NATO countries did not provide Ukraine with promporary aircraft - Bloomberg

Ukraine receives installations of IRIS/T of German production. At the same time, Patriot complexes, which at the NATO summit in Washington, were not received by President Joe Biden, journalists explained. Western partners a month ago promised Ukraine additional air defense tools (air defense), but delayed supplies. The air defense settings should protect Ukrainian cities from powerful and excessive means of damage to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, but they are still absent.

Bloomberg has told about the braking of assistance that NATO member states should send. Journalists reported a delay in the air defense for Ukraine, referring to the statement of an unnamed interlocutor, relevant to these issues. Position, place of work, the country of the interlocutor is not indicated. According to him, a number of partners who confirmed their promises at the NATO summit in Washington in July 2024 "failed to fulfill their obligations.

" At the same time, the publication reminded, at the summit, US President Joe Biden called such a promise "a historical sacrifice. " And President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy in one of his speeches reminded that "there is no vacation in the war. " He named three countries - the US, the United Kingdom and France, the article. Bloomberg cites the words of several sources that commented on the situation with air defense from NATO member states.

One of the interlocutors doubts that the installations will come to Ukraine by the fall of 2024, when the Russian Federation will increase the blows of energy. "Many of the NATO promises are unlikely to be fulfilled in the fall, when Russia is expected to increase the bombing of the critical infrastructure of Ukraine," the journalists of the word anonymous source. Another speaker stated that "support among allies of Ukraine remains uneven.

" Another thesis published by Bloomberg is the lag in the weapon supply schedule, which aggravates the situation on the front line. "Some allies are lagging behind in the supply of military equipment to the reserve forces of Ukraine, which has a negative impact on the country's defense," the article reads.

It should be noted that during the NATO Washington Summit, which took place on July 9-11, Ukraine promised five air defense settings capable of knocking down speed and ballistic goals (Caliber and Iskander missiles): Recall that in August, Germany announced a new package Ukraine, which, among other things, included IRIS/T. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation was healed by the hit of "Iskander" on the layout of the air defense agent, which stood on the border of Kursk.
