Secretary of State Blinken: US sees consequences of cutting off arms supplies to Ukraine
(Baonghean.vn) - According to RT news agency on January 30, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that Washington has seen how the lack of military aid to Ukraine is affecting the situation on the battlefield.
However, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken did not explain or provide evidence of the consequences he mentioned.
Additionally, Secretary of State Blinken added that without additional aid, all of Kiev's "achievements" in the conflict with Russia would be destroyed.
“Simply put, without aid, everything that Ukraine has achieved and everything we have helped them achieve, would be at risk,” said US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
Earlier, at the World Economic Forum in Davos (Switzerland) on January 16, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg described the situation on the battlefield as extremely difficult for the Ukrainian army and called on the alliance not to underestimate Russia. The NATO Secretary General called the provision of weapons to Kiev "an investment" in the security of the alliance countries.
Mr. Stoltenberg said that on January 30 (local time), he will discuss with members of the US Congress about continuing military support for Ukraine.
Meanwhile, on the front line, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are starving for artillery shells, under pressure from Russia, which is launching a massive offensive across the front line. The conflict is becoming a war of attrition, and Russia is gaining a major advantage by maintaining superior military capabilities over its opponents, especially in artillery.
In an article, The Times said that the Ukrainian army's artillery ammunition stockpile will be exhausted by the end of February this year. This could happen if the Republican Party in the US Congress continues to block the allocation of military aid to Ukraine./.
