Thursday, 24 March 2022 (YJC)_ The Swedish Defense Minister said that he would equip the Ukrainian army with new anti-tank weapons.
Sweden, a key US ally in the Scandinavian region, has said it will equip the Ukrainian military with new anti-tank weapons.
According to Reuters, the Swedish Defense Minister said that he would provide 5,000 new anti-tank weapons to Ukraine. Sweden has so far sent 5,000 anti-tank weapons and other military equipment to Ukraine.
Russia's ambassador to the United States, Anatoly Antonov, on Wednesday criticized Western policies in Ukraine, saying that sending weapons and sending mercenaries to Ukraine were "very dangerous policies that pose a direct threat to the security of Europe and the world."
He said in this regard:
Sending weapons to Ukraine and sending foreign mercenaries to the territory of Ukraine is irresponsible and very dangerous. The militarization of Ukraine is a direct threat to the security of Europe and the world.
According to the Russian diplomat, a significant portion of the weapons supplied by the West to Ukraine fall into the hands of bandits, Nazis, terrorists and criminals.
US President Joe Biden recently said his country intends to provide more military assistance to Kiev, including anti-aircraft systems, drones, anti-tank missiles, light weapons and ammunition. He also pledged $ 800 million in additional military assistance to Ukraine.
