The Foreign Minister called a positive factor at a slow pace of weapons supply to Ukraine (video)

There is no opportunity to produce F-16 or Patriot aircraft, but the release of ammunition, explosives, systems of EWS and other equipment, according to diplomat Vladimir Ogrizko, the state is quite capable of establishing. Slow pace of Western weapons supply can push Ukraine to intensify efforts on its own production.

Former Foreign Minister, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to Austria and a permanent representative of Ukraine under international organizations in Vienna Vladimir Ogrizko YouTube channel Focus reported this. He recalled the words of the current head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Dmitry Kuleba about the "pathetic state" of the military industry of Europe. One of the factors is European bureaucracy. "I think there is a chance to correct the situation," he said.

Such a situation, according to Vladimir Ogryzko, is able to push the idea that it is worth producing its own weapons in the right amount. In this case, it will not be necessary to constantly ask for weapons from partners. There is no opportunity to produce F-16 planes or Patriots, but ammunition, explosives, HRS systems and other technique are quite capable of establishing. Ukrainian experts already have experience in this field.

This gives us the opportunity to think about how quickly and as efficiently as possible to establish the production of these weapons on our own. "And this will be the best answer to the potential threats that we will give less, or for some reason, we will not receive weapons in time," the diplomat added. The Time said that the US Congress can still approve of 60 billion funding for Ukraine, which President Joe Biden has invited, but there is great uncertainty about what to expect in the future.
