American equipment saves fighters near Debaltseve – ATO Staff
KYIV:. Supplies of lethal and non-lethal weapons from the United States may become an issue of survival of the Ukrainian state.
This has been announced on Monday by deputy head of the ATO staff in Donetsk and Luhansk regions Colonel Valentyn Fedychev in Ukrainian crisis media center, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
“If we see that the fighting in eastern Ukraine do not stop, if we see an escalation of these actions, then the scope of U.S. military support to Ukraine, including the supply of lethal and non-lethal weapons, will become a matter of survival of our state,” Fedychev said.
He noted that during the operation in Debaltseve the Ukrainian military used American equipment capable of determining the coordinates of mortar batteries. “Using this technique has saved a great number of lives of our soldiers,” Fedychev said.
