U.S. sends 2,000 bulletproof vests for Ukrainian army
The Ukrainian Armed Forces have received the expected 2,000 sets of Interceptor body armour from the United States, the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine has said in a press release.
“2,000 sets of Interceptor body armor given by the United States as assistance to the Armed Forces of Ukraine have arrived in Kyiv. Once the body armor has cleared customs it will be handed over to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense for transport to its final destination,” reads the statement. According to the press release, Interceptor body armor is the same model provided to U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and was developed for better protection and lighter weight than earlier types, making it more effective in combat operations. The embassy also recalled that other recent deliveries of U.S. assistance include 1,000 sleeping mats and 3,600 camouflage jackets, while 400 boxes of gauze bandages and 1,000 helmet covers will be delivered shortly. “These shipments are part of a U.S. non-lethal aid package for Ukraine totaling more than $23 million and also including first aid kits, night vision goggles, communications equipment, and other materiel to facilitate the operations of the Ukrainian military and State Border Guard Service (SBGS) to assist them in their efforts to halt acts of terrorism in eastern Ukraine,” reads the statement.
