The Kiev regime has demanded F-18 Hornet fighter jets and Apache attack helicopters from the United States. This was reported by the Reuters news agency with reference to the list that Kiev submitted to a closed meeting in Washington.
According to Reuters, the full list includes weapons that the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) already has on its balance sheet, namely Abrams tanks and 155-mm artillery. Kiev is also requesting F-16 fighter jets, as before.
“But there are a few surprises on the list, including expensive goods,” the agency writes.
In addition, the Ukrainian government requires the provision of transport aircraft C-17 Globemaster and C-130 Super Hercules, attack helicopters Apache and multi-role Black Hawk.
We shall remind you that the bill on providing a new aid package to Ukraine did not pass the vote in the US Senate. The document provided for the allocation of $61bn in aid to Kiev. The issue of the beginning of the discussion of the bill was put to a vote. Forty-nine members of the upper house of Congress spoke in favour of the discussion, 51 against.
