In the event that America officially declares its readiness to provide Ukraine with lethal weapons, Kiev intends to ask first of all for anti-tank weapons and air defense systems, RIA Novosti reports, citing Ukrainian Defense Minister Stepan Poltorak.
“Basically, we will ask for air defense weapons, we will ask for anti-tank weapons – what we need first of all,” Poltorak said.
However, the Ukrainian defense minister did not name the prospects and timing of possible deliveries of American weapons, noting that this issue is being resolved in the United States.
