Military assistance to Ukraine will increase as US elections approach - military expert Sunhurovskyi
Mykola Sunhurovskyi, Director of Military Programs at the Razumkov Center, believes that the Biden administration will try to increase the amount of military assistance to Ukraine in the run up to the US elections
He shared his opinions with Espreso TV channel.
"As the US elections approach, military aid will increase. We will be able to get more weapons. Because President Biden will need to report on how many weapons his administration has provided to Ukraine and what results he has achieved. If there are no results, it will be a losing position," explained Sunhurovskyi.
The expert noted that Ukraine does not receive some types of weapons that it needs for a successful counteroffensive.
"The Biden administration will have to increase military assistance to Ukraine. Another problem is the extent to which it will be supported by us. That is, what results we will achieve. We are not getting all the weapons we need. For example, we are not getting helicopters and engineering equipment that we really need," he added.
