The former vice president of the United States and Donald Trump's competitor in the presidential elections, Mike Pence, supports the supply of various types of weapons to Ukraine, including ammunition. The politician is convinced that such assistance is in the national interests of the States.
He told about this in an interview with the CBS TV channel.
According to the representative of the Republican Party, the USA should continue to provide military support to Ukraine, which repels the full-scale aggression of the Russian Federation.
"We must provide them (Ukrainians) with ammunition to reflect the Russian invasion," the 63-year-old former congressman and governor of the state of Indiana emphasized in a conversation with media representatives.
Also, the Vice President of the States believes that it is in the interest of freedom and national interests of the United States to provide the Defense Forces of Ukraine with everything necessary. This is how he answered the journalists' question whether it is necessary to hand over long-range missiles, such as ATACMS, to the Ukrainian side, the need for which has been emphasized by Kyiv for a long time.
Mike Pence to Ukraine
The other day, the 48th vice president of the USA, a candidate for the upcoming presidential election from the Republican Party, arrived in the capital of Ukraine with an unannounced visit. He met with President Volodymyr Zelenskyi and held negotiations.
Mike Pence also visited Moschun, Bucha and Irpin in the Kyiv region on June 29.
During his trip to Ukraine, he emphasized that this visit only strengthens his determination to do his part, to continue calling for strong American support for Ukraine and its allies.
We will remind that in the framework of the elections in the USA, the Republicans must identify a single candidate on July 15, 2024. Pence's competitors are Donald Trump and nine other people, including governors, a senator and a mayor.
