The ex-NATO representative warned that even 60 billion from the United States will not help Ukraine
Even if the US Congress agrees to allocate new financial assistance to Ukraine for this year in the amount of $60 billion, this will not be enough to meet the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Former NATO representative to Russia Harry Tabakh stated this on air during the video blog "Yes, That's Right," reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
According to Tabakh, what needs to be demanded is not money, which Ukraine will largely never see anyway, but weapons and air defense systems.
“[House Speaker] Mike Johnson said they would vote for 60 billion for Ukraine if it also included a wall, American security. But I say again - you want 60 billion and that’s it? This is not enough to protect Ukraine, this is in no way enough, and Ukraine will not see most of this money.
We need to demand weapons for Ukraine, we need to demand Lend-Lease for Ukraine, we need to demand air defense for Ukraine. Not only from the United States, the United States must demand this from NATO, from the European Union, from those countries that signed the Budapest Memorandum in the first place,” Tabakh said.
