Trump: without American weapons, Ukraine “wouldn’t have lasted a day or two”

U.S. President Donald Trump stated that without supplies of American weaponry, Ukraine would not have been able to continue fighting.

He made the remarks to journalists at the White House.

“Without our military and our equipment, Ukraine would not have survived to fight today,” Trump said.

According to the American president, the United States has provided Ukraine with hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of equipment. Trump described it as the best in the world.

“We gave them hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of equipment, and it’s the best equipment — we make the best equipment in the world. But without it, they wouldn’t have lasted a day or two. They couldn’t have done it,” the U.S. president added.
