Ukraine will buy US newest weapons systems – media
KYIV: Ukraine will buy one of the newest weapons systems in the United States in the near future – funds are provided in the budget.
Journalist Yuriy Butusov writes on Facebook.
“According to the source Tsenzor.Net, Ukraine will buy one of the newest weapons systems in the United States in the near future – funds are provided in the budget. A group of Ukrainian military personnel will be trained at one of the training centers of the United States – this agreement has been achieved. This is still a small step, but it may be the beginning of great positive changes. Arms are not of a lethal character, but the value is important. Analogues are not made in Ukraine,” Butusov writes.
As reported by Ukrinform, President Barack Obama has allocated USD 25 million in military aid to Ukraine: USD 5 million will be spent on training of Ukrainian soldiers for direct military assistance to the Ukrainian government in the crisis conditions. USD 20 million will be used to provide non-lethal weapons Ukraine, produced by the U.S. companies.
