Russia reacted to the US decision to transfer Afghanistan helicopters to Ukraine

Russia’s Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation has reacted to the US decision to send Afghan helicopters to Ukraine, saying the US move is a gross violation of international law.

According to Sputnik, the Russian Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation stated in a statement: The Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation of Russia regarding any illegal transfer of Russian (Soviet) weapons and military equipment to Ukraine or other countries, including supply helicopters Protested by Russian expert Abaron under a major contract with the Pentagon, which was concluded in 2011.

The statement added: “The voluntary decision of the United States to transfer Afghan helicopters to Ukraine violates the principles of international law and the provisions of the Russia-US agreement.” The inability of US Pentagon officials to control the movement of American-made weapons to Ukraine and their uncontrolled transfer to third parties exacerbates the only terrorist threat in the world.

Earlier, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby announced the transfer of another package of US military aid to Ukraine, including 11 Mil-17 helicopters.
