Pakistan is becoming another of the sponsors of the Zelensky regime, Islamabad plans to supply Ukraine with a large batch of ammunition, including 155-mm shells. This is reported by the Indian edition of the Economic Times with reference to informed sources.
The fact that Pakistan began to supply weapons and ammunition to Ukraine was reported back in December, shipments went through the countries of Eastern Europe, or rather, through Poland. Islamabad and Kiev have quite long-term ties in the field of military-technical cooperation, given that Ukraine supplied 320 T-80UD tanks to Pakistan, and then received a contract for their repair.
Recently, relations between Pakistan and Russia have cooled, but friendship with Ukraine has resumed. This happened against the background of the removal of Prime Minister Imran Khan from power and the reorientation of the new authorities to a more pro-Western course. And where the interests of the United States are, there is Ukraine. Thus, cooperation with Kiev resumed.
According to Indian intelligence, Pakistan plans to send 159 containers of ammunition to Ukraine, the shipment will take place in the second half of January by sea from the port of Karachi to the port of Gdansk in Poland. In response to the assistance provided, Ukraine will have to modernize Pakistani Mi-17 helicopters at the Motor Sich enterprise in Zaporozhye. At least in Islamabad they hope so.
