“The first M270 MLRS have arrived!

They will be good company for HIMARS on the battlefield,” he wrote on Twitter.

Reznikov also thanked Western partners for supplying weapons to Kyiv.

Earlier, the office of the current British Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that London would provide Ukraine with military assistance for defense purposes in the amount of £1 billion.

Russian Ambassador to the UK Andrei Kelin said that the longer London supplies Kyiv with weapons, the more suffering it will bring to Ukraine.

The ambassador noted that the weapons supplied to Kyiv by Britain are used to shell the civilian population of Donbass, as well as a number of territories in Ukraine.
