Kiev is not driven in time: Abrams will arrive at the new counter -offensive of the Armed Forces - Kuleba (video)

According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the counter -offensive of the Armed Forces should not be considered as "last and decisive. " In the issues of supplies of Western weapons to Ukraine, it should be borne in mind that war is a thing where it is worth "thinking two or three steps ahead. " Foreign Minister of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba announced a new counter -offensive of the Armed Forces, with further delivery from Western allies of Abrams tanks.

He told about it on Thursday, June 22 in an interview for the Channel "Public News". When asked by a journalist about the chances of seeing the American tanks in Ukraine in the near future, and whether they should expect them in this campaign of a counter -offensive, Kuleba explained that the hope of it is, but it is not necessary to be limited to the framework of the current counter -offensive.

"I constantly emphasize this in dealing with partners: you do not have to look at this counter -offensive as the last and decisive. There will be so many counter -offensives, so much it is necessary to expel Russia from our territory," the Foreign Minister said. He noted that now from Western allies come to Ukraine by American Bradley, and something is still in the process. "Abrams - as a tank is a much more complex design than Leopard, for all of him.

So we work now, but we keep in our heads that tanks, APC and other equipment will be needed for possible next campaigns. All Ukraine-thank God, we thank everyone. But the war is a thing where you need to think two or three steps forward, "Kuleba said. He also stressed that Ukraine does not feel pressure from the Allies that the Armed Forces counter -offensive should be the only and decisive. "Not as radically as you have voiced, but from some countries such signals come.

However, no country has no signal that, if, arguing," Until the fall is not a decisive success, it will end, we wash hands " , - the Foreign Minister shared. In a good sense of the word, we do not go, because the answer to these anxiety is simple: "What do you want to achieve? Are you tired? ? " He emphasized. On March 21, Associated Press journalists reported that according to their data, Abrams M1a1 could be sent to Ukraine.

This decision of US officials is connected with the aim of providing the tanks as soon as possible, which may appear by the end of this year. In early April, the US Department of Defense concluded a contract of $ 27. 1 million, which provides for the release of M1A1 Abrams tanks for the Armed Forces.
