The head of the Pentagon promised to provide Ukraine with "firepower"

The troops of Ukraine will receive "firepower", regardless of whether it is a question of American Tomahawk missiles. This was announced on October 15 by Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth.

"Firepower is what's coming [to Ukraine]," he said in an interview with CNN.

The head of the military department clarified that all the commitments that European countries have undertaken to purchase American weapons for Kiev will soon "turn into opportunities" for the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).

As for the issue of Tomahawk supplies for Kiev, it is not included in the immediate agenda of the NATO meeting, adds "Газета.Ru ".

Targeted prescription: why the West gives Kiev old small arms

The Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters are being armed with what they wrote off in Europe, which indicates the depletion of NATO reserves, experts say.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on the same day that the supply of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine could cause "tremendous damage" to relations between Russia and the United States. He also noted that the Russian Federation did not request a meeting in order to convince the United States not to supply Tomahawk to Ukraine. According to Lavrov, there are experienced people in the American administration who perfectly understand all the risks.

Military expert, retired Colonel Anatoly Matviychuk said on September 23 that Ukraine would not be able to continue fighting without Western help, and even a reduction in support would lead to irreversible consequences. According to the expert, if you remove all supplies from NATO and the United States, in two weeks Ukraine will become a bankrupt state and will not be able to carry out any military operations or replenish reserves.
