Kiev is close to running out of Stinger man-portable anti-aircraft missiles and Javelin anti-tank missiles, Ukraine’s ambassador to the US Oksana Markarova has told lawmakers in Washington.
“She made clear that they’re going to run out of Stingers and Javelins really fast,” Senator Chris Murphy told reporters after meeting between Markarova and House and Senate lawmakers Monday.
Markarova said she and US politicians had come to a “very good understanding,” and that “the United States has been very helpful in helping us supplying the financial assistance, defensive military assistance, but also a great leader of the anti-war coalition on sanctions.”
“We work actively with the administration, the president, and also with Congress on getting more weapons, so we need more weapons,” she stressed.
Representative Mike Quigley confirmed the request for more weapons supplies. “When you’re dealing with this kind of threat, hope and prayers matter. But when you’re dealing with Putin, hope and a Stinger and a Javelin are even better,” he said.
