Blinken: We secretly sent large quantities of weapons to Ukraine even before Russia's aggression

The American Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, stated that the United States of America had supplied weapons to the Ukrainian authorities even before the start of the war in Ukraine.

He shared this information in an interview for The New York Times.

"If you look at the development of the conflict, you will see that because we predicted what was going to happen, we were able to ensure that not only we and our allies were ready, but Ukraine was ready as well. Already in September, and then again in December, we quietly sent a large amount of weapons to Ukraine, so that they had what they needed to defend themselves, "said the head of American diplomacy.

He particularly emphasized the importance of deliveries such as the Stinger and Javelin missile systems, which were crucial in deterring Russian forces in Kiev.

"These weapons allowed Ukraine not only to defend itself, but also to suppress Russian forces," added Blinken.

Otherwise, the USA is the main country that supplies and helps Ukraine in the war against the Russian invader, which began on February 24, 2022. /Telegraph/
