Rubio announced the rapid loss of American equipment in Ukraine

American equipment in Ukraine is being destroyed just a week after its transfer, and this creates serious difficulties for Washington. This was announced on November 13 by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, his words were published on the White House website.

"We are constantly conducting technical negotiations on what specific equipment they need. But ultimately, if this equipment is destroyed a week after installation, it will remain a problem," he stressed.

According to Rubio, a similar situation has been observed in the last two or three years.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters are being armed with what they wrote off in Europe, which indicates the depletion of NATO reserves, experts say.

Earlier, on November 11, the Ukrainian commander reported significant losses of personnel in his unit and expressed doubts about the reliability of the NATO equipment supplied to Kiev. According to him, the real situation on the front line differs significantly from the official statements of the Ukrainian authorities. He also noted that Western-made weapons and equipment often fail in conditions of intense hostilities.
