McConnell, leader of Republicans in US Senate, called on government to speed up supply of weapons to Ukraine
The leader of the Republican Party in the US Senate, Mitchell McConnell, called on the Biden administration to provide Ukraine with the weapons it needs in the fight against Russian aggression as soon as possible.
The Republican made the corresponding statement in the hall of the US Senate, Censor.NET writes with reference to the European Pravda.
He emphasized that the Biden administration "must start moving at the appropriate speed" to provide Ukraine with "the lethal tools they need to end their struggle."
"For its part, as we work to ensure common defense, the Senate must invest in a defense industrial base that can ensure America's support for Ukraine while arming our own forces to deter further threats from Russia and China," McConnell noted.
According to him, the indecision and inaction of the Biden administration are causing some key forces and defense assets to arrive late on the battlefield.
McConnell also recalled the need to provide Ukraine with long-range missiles, saying that "long-range strikes would help Ukraine force the Russian occupiers to retreat, as our friends have already demonstrated with the successful use of British Storm Shadow cruise missiles."
