Ukraine on the eve of a counter -offensive received 600 species of weapons - US Colonel

According to the speaker of the US Army Command in Europe and Africa Martin O'Donnell, no army in the world has as variety in weapons as the Armed Forces - from Abrams to Patriot systems. The Armed Forces of Ukraine have already received 600 types of Western weapons for the future counter -offensive. This was stated by a spokesman for the US Army in Europe and Africa, Colonel Martin O'Donnell in an interview with RBC-Ukraine on May 11.

According to him, preparation for large -scale action on the battlefield continues, and Ukrainian defenders have not yet used all the types of weapons that have been handed over by Western allies in recent months. "We collectively, not only the United States but also the international community, gave Ukraine about 600 species of weapons and ammunition: from Abrams tanks and Leopard tanks, to Petriot systems," the statement reads.

In any one army in the world, as Martin O'Donnell said further, especially when it comes to a belligerent army. The chances of Ukraine at this colonel evaluated positively. In his opinion, "Ukraine is doing well. " The course of the war, it did not allocate. It was only stated that they all require provision, in particular, ammunition for air defense to close the sky at the beginning of a counter -offensive. "I do not think that in this situation there is a" silver ball ".

I think that the "silver" ball in this case is the willingness of Ukrainians to use 600 different systems that we have already provided. It will be significant how Ukrainians use the systems that they provided them, "the message said. Recall that May 10 was reported that the United States did not mind if the UK will send long -range missiles for Ukraine.
