Since the Russian invasion on February 24, Ukraine has received billions of dollars’ worth of weapons and military equipment from at least 28 countries.
Twenty-five of the 28 nations providing military assistance to Ukraine are NATO members, including the US and UK, which are supplying Kyiv with sophisticated weapons such as multiple rocket launch systems (MLRS).
Despite its growing arsenal, Ukraine, which has an active military personnel of just 200, 000, is significantly outgunned by Russian forces.
Countries who have supplied Ukraine with weapons and military equipment include: Australia, Belgium, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, the UK and the US.
These do not include countries providing non-lethal aid or fuel, such as Ireland and Japan.
rtillery:
Howitzers have been provided by countries such as Estonia and Norway. The US has also pledged M114 155mm howitzers – long-range artillery launchers.
Anti-aircraft and anti-tank weapons:
Shoulder-fired MANPAD systems, NLAWs, Harpoon anti-ship missiles, Stinger missiles, Javelin anti-tank missiles, MILAN anti-tank guided missiles and Cheetah anti-aircraft missiles are among the weapons pledged to Ukraine.
Armoured vehicles:
The UK has provided Ukraine with Mastiff armoured vehicles which can carry a crew of two plus eight troops. Australia has pledged M113 armoured personnel carriers and Bushmaster protected mobility vehicles, the latter of which can deploy 10 soldiers. T-72 tanks have also been pledged by Poland.
Reconnaissance and attack drones:
Turkish Bayraktar TB2 combat drones, US made Phoenix Ghost tactical drones and Puma Unmanned aerial systems are among the drones pledged to Ukraine.
The Bayraktar drone in particular garnered attention during the war as Ukrainian forces used the weapon to destroy Russian artillery systems and armoured vehicles.
The TB2 has a wingspan of 12 metres and can reach 25, 000 feet. It has also been used during conflicts in Syria, Nagorno-Karabakh, Iraq and Libya.
Helicopters:
The US and Czech Republic have sent Ukraine Mi-24 attack helicopters.
Small arms:
A number of countries are sending automatic rifles, machine guns, assault rifles, sniper rifles, submachine guns, pistols, and ammunition to Ukraine.
Last week, the UK announced that it would give Ukraine M270 multiple-launch rocket systems, which can strike targets up to 80km (50 miles) away.
During the Russian invasion, the US has committed at least $54bn in aid for Ukraine, including more than $20bn in military support approved by Congress in May, as well as a number of aid packages approved in March.
On June 1, the Department of Defense announced the authorisation of an eleventh drawdown of equipment from DoD inventories for Ukraine since August 2021, as US President Joe Biden said the US would “continue to provide Ukraine with weapons and equipment to defend itself.”
The DoD package includes:
• High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems and ammunition;
• Five counter-artillery radars;
• Two air surveillance radars;
• 1, 000 Javelins and 50 Command Launch Units;
• 6, 000 anti-armour weapons;
• 15, 000 155mm artillery rounds;
• Four Mi-17 helicopters;
• 15 tactical vehicles;
• Spare parts and equipment

Why fire the commander if according to Western media... Ukraine is winning

[jerrynaga]

He is the scapegoat for the military defeat in Ukraine but Zelensky was the one who wanted them to fight to the last man to please his masters.

[andrewvergosa]

Whatttt... Zelenski wants to talk to Xi? For what???? Nonsense 😂

[shijuh.pallithazheth]

It would have more wiser for Zelensky to fire himself if he really wanted Ukrainians to live in peace 😂😂

[shambhuprasad]

Palki Sharma chanell much valued and reliable news channel now. Her presentation is great and lovely

[dexlab]

Xi agrees to meet with Zelensky on 1 condition - he must wear a suit 😂

[dieanramlal]

Actual title of this video: *Top clown fires the old clowns so they can be replaced with new clowns who will continue clowning and keep the Clown circus going for a few more years*

[fortunatowenceslao]

Sicklensky will end up alone in his dungeon with no one to fire or dismissed. LeZ go.

Why Muslim economic migrants and refugees don't prefer wealthy Muslim countries in the middle east.

[NatureShortsShow]

When the commander was speaking to Zelensky, he said they can't win and will lose more so he was fired. Don't take my word for it.

Oh China didn't even consult Russia on that plan

[mohammadkarimzai]

Westerners are talking big like the word (watching class or serious consequences) but big countries ignoring them. Anyway they are used to that.

[shanmugavadivel]

USA is said to be incapable to militarily defend Taiwan against Chinese invasion, Since it had spent 70% of arms and ammunitions in Ukraine conflict.

[karunagaranmuniandy]

Why is the West and America not interested in peace?

[ghanashyamgogoi]

Poor ukrine comedian is international beggar

[karunagaranmuniandy]

If US can supply arms to Ukraine, why shouldn't China do the same to Russia?

[emmanuelwesseh]

I’m confused why Ukraine missile hasn’t even hit Russian yet since the war started😂 only Russian keep hitting them 😅. This war doesn’t make sense even though Ukraine has received all the best weapons still Russian stand untouchable😮😅

[terrencewijeratne]

zelensky is making scapagoats for his mstakes. im sure the gneneral is an efficient guy. the inefficient element is zelensky. he should resign. if zelensky was not in command ukrainian forces would have performed much better.
