You're reading: Kyiv hands over list of required US arms to McCain

First Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Andriy Parubiy has passed on a list of American weapons that Ukraine requires during his meeting with Republican Senator John McCain in Washington on Feb. 26, the press service of the People's Front faction has reported.

In an interview with Voice of America, Parubiy said that U.S. President Barack Obama has already seen the list.

“Some of the weapons are non-lethal. For example, radar and UAV’s (drones), radio communications, and interference suppression devices,” said Parubiy. “The lethal weapons include, primarily, anti-missile systems, including Javelin (anti-tank missiles),” he said.

Parubiy believes that a U.S. commitment to send weapons would encourage other countries to follow suit.

As reported, Parubiy is on state visit to Washington.
