The Ukrainian army will receive NATO-standard artillery, the United States, Great Britain and Canada will provide supplies of guns. As reported, the decision on this has already been made.
On Tuesday, a joint videoconference of the United States, Canada, France, Germany, Poland, Japan, Italy, the European Commission and NATO took place, the result of which was the decision to provide the Ukrainian army with some number of artillery pieces. Biden and Johnson initiated the deliveries, Trudeau joined.
It is not yet known how much artillery will be delivered to Kiev, deliveries will have to begin in "a few days". Before that, Washington announced plans to send 18 155-mm howitzers and 40,000 shells to Ukraine. The UK can supply 155-mm self-propelled artillery units (ACS) AS-90 Braveheart, but nothing has been reported about Canadian guns yet. Trudeau said that "heavy artillery" will be sent to Ukraine, and this will be announced later.
Meanwhile, the United States will substitute much more artillery for Ukraine than was previously announced. The thing is that the day before Biden signed a decree on the allocation of another package of military assistance to Kiev in the amount of $ 800 million. It will also include artillery installations, the number and type have not yet been announced.
Biden said.
Johnson added.
The British Prime Minister suggested yesterday to supply Kiev with so many weapons to discourage Russia from invading Ukraine at all. And German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that the victory of the Russian army should not be allowed.
