United States planning to provide lethal weapons to Ukraine – Lysenko
KYIV: The United States is planning to provide lethal weapons to Ukraine.
National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) information and analytical center spokesman Andriy Lysenko said this at a briefing on Thursday, citing U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs Derek Chollet, a Ukrinform correspondent reported.
“Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs Derek Chollet said that the United States is working on a program to provide lethal assistance to Ukraine,” Lysenko said.
However, he did not mention what kind of weapons the United States is to send to Ukraine. “The issue does not currently concern the amount, quality and technical data of these weapons, at least in public, because negotiations are now underway,” he said.
