Ukrainian troops need certain weapons, which she requests from her partners, to unblock Mariupol and liberate Kherson from the Russian occupiers.

Kevin Ryan, a senior brigadier general in the departments and senior researcher at the Belfer Center at Harvard Kennedy School, said this in an interview with the site. TSN.

“I, Ukraine, are asking for help with certain weapons that I think give it the best experience of defeating the Russians in both the East and the South. They include some of the weapons recently transferred to the United States and NATO. The most important, in my opinion, , there will be air defense, such as the S-300 or other types of weapons that shoot down not only Russian planes but also some missiles and cruise missiles, “he said.

According to the expert, the Armed Forces also need artillery systems and counter-battery radars for future battles, which will allow them to know the direction of the artillery offensive.

“These things will be very important in this struggle in eastern Ukraine and, of course, for Kherson,” he added.

“The reason I mentioned the air defense systems and artillery is what Ukraine is asking for. This is something that some countries can provide, but it is also something that is very difficult to get in the circles that Ukraine needs, as I said, they think it is an important system. The United States, for example, has only Patriot air defense and radar and all battalions in its own use. That’s why the United States really can’t provide Patriot to Ukraine, “the general said.

As you know, the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine began early in the morning of February 24. On April 18, the occupiers began a new phase of the war, trying to go on the offensive in the east.
