Ukraine hopes that the U.S. parliament resolution to grant military and technical assistance to Ukraine will not be vetoed and Kyiv will receive arms to protect the country, Deputy Head of the Ukrainian Presidential Administration Andriy Taranov has said.

"Both houses of the U.S. parliament confirmed the allocation of EUR 300 million worth assistance to Ukraine (military training and provision of certain weapons) in the new financial year. Ukraine expects most weapons from the American people that will help us to contain the enemy, that is to contain and control, - systems of counter-artillery defense and electronic warfare systems. And unless the U.S. president vetoes this financial document, which will come into force on October 1, we hope to get anti-tank weapons," Taranov said in an interview with Channel 5 on Tuesday evening.

At the moment, 380 U.S. paratroopers are training the National Guard servicemen, the official said.

Taranov also expressed the hope that the U.S. government would pass a resolution on the training of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

In addition, the deputy chief of staff said that currently Ukraine was able to ensure both the air defense of its ground forces and the country at large.
