US Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin said his country is prepared to supply the arms Ukraine needs to win against Russia, as reported by liga.net.
One of the journalists asked Austin if Washington’s goal is still assisting Ukraine in winning in the war and weakening Russia’s military potential. He was also asked to comment on Ukraine’s request to be supplied with 1 000 howitzers and 300 missile systems. «We are prepared to provide all and help Ukraine win. We are prepared on our own and we have allies around the world that are prepared to provide actual assistance to Ukraine. We have already supplied a considerable number of howitzers and munitions, as well as many other items. Other countries have also supplied howitzers,» Austin said.
He stressed US will continue working to make sure Ukraine secures accomplishments as quickly as possible.
Austin reminded that Ramstein 3 meeting will be held this week. During this meeting countries that support Ukraine will discuss Ukraine’s priority needs for self-defence. Ukrainian Minister of Defence Oleksyi Reznikov Oleksii Reznikov will take part.
