Amb. Kurt Volker: We Provided Lethal Defensive Equipment to Ukraine

EXCERPT:

VOLKER: "As you said, under the previous administration there was a ban on sales or provision of U.S. lethal defensive equipment to Ukraine. Remember, this is a country that’s being attacked by Russia, 14,000 people have been killed in Ukraine by the Russian-led forces that are there. Russia has seized two pieces of Ukrainian territory and Ukraine’s armed forces were in desperate need of help and they were not getting that help from the U.S. In the current administration, the Trump Administration, that was turned around. We provided lethal defensive equipment, javelin missiles, anti-tank systems, and have really helped train and equip the Ukrainian military so they are in a much better position to defend themselves."
