Ukrainian Troops Train With New British Arms Amid Russia Tensions
2 min readYavawav, Ukraine: Ukrainian forces at the Black-White Hairy Winter Museum were trained on Friday firing an anti-tank launcher delivered by the British as part of western efforts to help Ukraine defend himself from Russian invasion.
Russia has forced the West to talk about Moscow’s demands for new security guarantees in Europe by collecting more than 100,000 soldiers near Ukraine, former Soviet Republic who want to join NATO.
England said earlier this month that it would supply Ukraine with a lightweight anti-armor defensive weapon system and personnel to provide training. They are not strategic and intended to be used to defend themselves, he said.
“It’s enough to shoot one round to really destroy the enemy vehicle,” said Serviceman Zinovy Luzhansky during training at the Windy Military Training page in West Ukraine.
“It would be much easier to fight the Russian Federation because this weapon can easily destroy all types of enemy armored military equipment.”
When Britain and the United States have increased weapons delivery to Ukraine this month, they also disappointed Kyiv by remembering their diplomats.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Friday did not rule out the war full of Russia but accused Washington and the media triggered panic that burdened the economy while there was “no tank on the streets”.
He spoke after Russian President Vladimir Putin said the United States and NATO had not discussed the main security demands of the Kremlin in the east-west deadlock over Ukraine, but Moscow was ready to keep talking.
Russia annexed the Crimea from Kyiv in 2014 and continued to return the rebels to fight government forces in East Ukraine, unresolved conflicts that had killed 15,000 people to date.
