Alliierte verstärken ihre Waffenlieferungen für die Ukraine
January 27, 2022 -
Westliche Staaten verstärken Waffenlieferungen für die Ukraine aus Sorge einer russischen Invasion des ex-Sowjet Nachbarn. Allerdings verlangt die Ukaine noch mehr Unterstützung, damit sie der großen und besser ausgestatteten Armee Russlands widerstehen kann.
The United States, Britain and the Baltic states are sending weapons to Ukraine, including anti-tank missiles, small arms and boats. Turkey has sold drones to Ukraine that the Ukrainian military has used in eastern Ukraine against Russian-backed separatists, according to Reuters.
However, Germany is against sending arms to Ukraine. Berlin has instead promised a complete field hospital and the necessary training for Ukrainian troops to operate it, worth about $6 million, Reuters said.
