The US will support Ukraine with crucial equipment in its war against Russia, as a huge cargo ship at the Belgian port of Antwerp got ready to set sail for Germany.
According to Reuters, Carol Petsonk, the United States’ Assistant Secretary for Aviation and International Affairs was shown around the loading dock of the vehicles carrier “Arc Integrity” where the military gear was tied with straps to the floor.
What we see is the vessel’s carrying two types of equipment: One is the personal vehicles, belongings of service members who are going to serve in U.S. forces in Europe. The other is military equipment, including defensive capability equipment, medical vehicles for providing medical supplies to injured
Petsonk told.
Vehicles, medical supplies and temporary bridges would be offloaded at the German North Sea port of Bremerhaven and then transported over land to Ukraine.
Ukraine desperately needs medical supplies and capability to move those supplies into the country to the points where they are needed, and that’s what these vehicles will provide
In a similar development, Canada is poised to send cargo ships to ports in Romania and neighbouring countries to help Ukraine get its wheat to Africa and the Middle East.
Canada plans to dispatch cargo ships to pick up Ukrainian wheat in Romania and other Black Sea states, then deliver the food where it is needed most.
According to Melanie Joly Russia’s war has created a“potential food crisis,”and the West needs“to do more to show African countries, Latin American countries and Middle Eastern countries and Asian countries that we are there to share solutions.”
