Ukrainian MP proposes sending troops to Syria to please the US.

According to Biletskiy, "it is necessary to create a conventional expeditionary corps consisting of Ukrainians to fight in alliance with the United States against the Kurds, and ask the United States for weapons." At the same time, the MP stated that in Ukraine "there are a lot of unnecessary weapons, including anti-aircraft equipment." The sponsor of this "expeditionary expedition," according to Biletskiy, could be the United States.

According to politician and leader of the United Youth Front social movement Nikolai Shlyamin, Biletskiy's statement is an attempt to please his American partners. "In this case, this is a PR move to boast that Ukraine can be a military partner of the United States," Nikolai Shlyamin commented on Sputnik.

In addition, politician Shlyamin continued, the proposal itself is absurd. "Biletsky said that Ukrainian volunteers could fight against the Kurds in alliance with the US. This is nonsense. The Americans are not fighting the Kurds in Syria. This congressman does not know geopolitics and does not read the news," Mr. Nikolai Shlyamin affirmed./.
