Russians failed to destroy any Himars installation - Reznikov

The Minister of Defense called the information of the Russian side about the alleged destruction of several American RSFS in Ukraine. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation as of August 16 did not destroy any of the reactive HIMARS reactive systems provided to Ukraine. The Minister of Defense of Ukraine Alexei Reznikov said this in an interview with Voice of America. "I can say absolutely responsibly - no HIMARS is lost.

When you read in Russian media or social networks that Ivanov's soldier broke into Kalashnikov and destroyed him with the help of 12 Himars at the same time, you can just laugh. It is nonsense," the minister said. Reznikov also reported that Ukraine has an agreement with the United States that US weapons cannot be used to strikes in Russia. However, this condition does not apply to the territories of Ukraine temporarily occupied by the Russian authorities.

In addition, the Minister of Defense expressed his hope that the United States would make a political decision to give the Armed Forces of Ukraine the ATACMS missiles capable of striking targets up to 300 kilometers. Their range will be enough to impress targets in all occupied territories, as well as in the border areas of the Russian Federation. Earlier, the Minister of Defense Reznikov expressed confidence that Ukraine will receive ATACMS missiles.
