However… I would say that we came very close to making this decision, the United States, which for us will primarily mean the ability to better protect the lives of our defenders in the East and, in addition, to raise the price of attack of the Russian Federation against Ukraine”, – said Deputy Prime Minister.

Continues the analysis of how Ukraine is ready to high-quality treatment with high-tech weapons is determined by how you will comply with necessary procedures and how to ensure control over their implementation.
