Ukraina vil få våpen fra mange nasjoner - Når de landet i tide? - Sky News

 


At flere store NATO land gir våpen til Ukraina er interessant, og ikke bare litt spennende. Dersom Tyrkia velger å stenge Bosporus for russiske marinefartøyer som er i Svartehavet og som tilhører Nordflåten, blir det muligens litt for spennende.... (Red.)

More than two dozen nations, including the UK, other European countries, and the US, will give more weapons, medical supplies and other military aid to Ukraine as it fights a Russian invasion, Sky News understands.

The UK has offered to conduct "logistics operations" to support the delivery of the donations, a defence source said.

British defence secretary, Ben Wallace, organised a donor conference of military aid on Friday evening, which was held virtually.

Some 25 nations were on the call and all said they would continue to contribute aid, some saying for the first time their support will include lethal assistance. NATO was also represented.

The defence source said: "The defence secretary held a virtual donor conference last night with more than 25 countries, including the US and Canada and some countries outside NATO, coordinating their support to Ukraine.
