The U.S. Analytical Center of the Heritage Foundation on Wednesday released a report urging to arm Ukraine, Voice of America has reported.
Next week, U.S. President Donald Trump will decide whether to approve the sale of the U.S. weapons, including advanced anti-tank weapons, to Ukraine. Russia invaded Ukraine. Russia has illegally occupied Crimea. Russia has provoked and now supports the separatist movement in eastern Ukraine. Russia is an aggressor, and Ukraine is a victim. Any country has the right to self-defense, the Voice of America website said, citing the report.
The document of Heritage Foundation, which is called the think tank of the administration of Donald Trump, says that the future success of Ukraine will depend on the Ukrainians themselves, and U.S. leadership is important for counteracting Russian aggression and supporting Kyiv's reforms.
The people of Ukraine have discovered devotion to the transatlantic community, and the U.S. must provide advanced weapons and other tactics to Ukraine, for example, safe means of communication. It should not be considered that such a decision by the U.S. will lead to a solution to the crisis and the end of Russia's aggression. All depends on the Ukrainians themselves. The U.S. leadership is important for counteracting Russian aggression and supporting reforms, the report says, released by the Heritage Foundation.
At the same time, the document suggests that the U.S. military advisers be present at the forefront. The author of the document is Luc Coffey, director of the Center for Foreign Policy named after Sara Ellison in the Heritage Foundation.
