Geallieerden voeren wapenleveranties aan Oekraïne op bij vrees voor invasie
January 27, 2022 - Western countries have stepped up arms deliveries to Ukraine but it says it needs more in order to resist Russia’s bigger and better-equipped army.
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.
