“As for howitzers, I think very soon you will see that they will be transferred.

To date, I have nothing to say about the delivery, but I think that you will see that they will be taken very soon, as well as ammunition for them, ”he said at a briefing.

Kirby added that if there is a need for additional 155mm howitzer rounds in the future, "the US will be at the forefront, doing everything possible to deliver them," TASS writes.

As it became known earlier, the United States will transfer to Ukraine 200 M113 armored personnel carriers, 11 Mi-17 helicopters, 18 howitzers, 300 Switchblade loitering ammunition and 500 Javelin missiles.

At the same time, the United States will train the Armed Forces of Ukraine to handle American howitzers outside of Ukraine.
