“The [US] Department of Defense has deployed HIMARS systems in Europe in advance to ensure their rapid delivery to Ukraine ... There will be four HIMARS systems in the initial tranche,” TASS quoted him as saying.
According to Kol, the training of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, according to preliminary data, will take about three weeks.
US President Joe Biden previously announced a new military aid package for Ukraine that includes HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Kyiv's demands to the West for the supply of multiple launch rocket systems are a direct provocation aimed at drawing other countries into the situation in Ukraine.
