TSAMTO, February 7. On February 5, the eighth plane from the United States landed in Kiev with a cargo of ammunition. This, as RIA Novosti reports, was stated by the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Alexey Reznikov.
"The weight of the cargo with ammunition is 86 tons. Since January 22, 2022, our partners from the United States have already sent more than 650 tons of defense equipment to Ukraine. To be continued," the official wrote on Facebook.
According to a source of RBC-Ukraine in the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, about 45 flights with logistical military assistance from the United States are planned in total.
Western countries continue to provide military support to Ukraine, including by supplying weapons that are used in the Donbass. Since 2014, NATO countries led by the United States have been sending weapons to Ukraine and training its military, which directly violates the Minsk Agreements and negatively affects the settlement in Donbass.
In addition to the Americans, the United Kingdom, Canada, France, Poland, Turkey, Lithuania, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Romania, Estonia participate in deliveries totaling billions of dollars, the agency notes.
