US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham visited Kyiv to discuss military aid to Ukraine in countering Russian aggression.
The official promised that the US will send ATACMS missiles to Ukraine, which will help destroy the illegally built Crimean Bridge. Channel 24 writes about it.
“Here’s what I hope will happen in 2024. America will send weapons to Ukraine, which you desperately need, and in the future you will begin not only to hold the territory, but also to put further pressure on the Russians. You will get ATACMS and destroy the bridge that connects Crimea with Russia. I want 2024 to be a year of qualitative advantage for the Ukrainian military,” said Lindsey Graham.
Previously, USM wrote that the destruction of Russian ships significantly affects the defense of the Crimean bridge.
The senator also mentioned the need to provide ammunition, air defense systems and F-16 fighters.
The government official emphasized that the idea of assistance in the form of an interest-free loan enjoys the support of former US President Donald Trump. At the same time, 70% of Republican senators understand the need to help Ukraine.
At the same time, the confiscation of frozen Russian assets remained a key issue. Ukraine and the USA are developing mechanisms to speed up this process, because Russian assets can become a valuable resource for strengthening Ukraine.
