He said this during a meeting of the Western group for the coordination of military assistance to Ukraine.

According to him, "since February 24, more than 45 allies and partners from all over the world have promptly provided security assistance" to Kyiv.

“I also warmly welcome Ecuador, Georgia and Moldova.

They joined today's meeting of the contact group," TASS quoted the head of the Pentagon as saying.

Earlier, Austin spoke out against the weakening of the supply of weapons to Kyiv, saying that "the stakes are too high."

He also believes that the supply of American multiple rocket launchers to Kyiv "will significantly strengthen the defense capabilities" of Ukraine.

The Kremlin drew attention to the fact that Ukraine currently has big problems, while the unwillingness of the Kyiv authorities to take a sober look at the situation does not bode well.
