The Ukrainian military plans to start training with powerful US anti-tank missiles on May 2 following the long-awaited delivery of weapons that Russia warns will only increase bloodshed in eastern Ukraine.
“I am sincerely grateful for the fair decision of [US president] Donald J Trump in support of Ukraine in defense of freedom and democracy. Washington not only fulfilled our joint agreement – it has demonstrated leadership and an important example,” Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko wrote on Facebook to confirm arrival of the Javelin rockets.
