Russia has been conducting a special military operation in Ukraine since February 24, its goal was called by President Vladimir Putin “demilitarization and denazification” of the neighboring state and protection of the population of the DPR and LPR from the “genocide of the Kiev regime”. The Ukrainian authorities have severed diplomatic relations with Russia, and martial law has been imposed in the country.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly called on Western countries to transfer weapons to Ukraine. On April 22, the United States announced the delivery of Phoenix Ghost drones developed for Ukraine. Earlier, US President Joe Biden said that as part of military assistance totaling $1 billion, the States will supply Ukraine, including air defense systems and drones. NBC reported that we are talking about American Switchblade kamikaze drones.In addition, Ukraine is armed with Turkish Bayraktar drones and Soviet Tu-141.
Russia has repeatedly opposed “pumping Ukraine with weapons”. As noted in the Foreign Ministry, this indicates the disinterest of the United States and its allies in resolving the situation in the country.
