Ukraine's shopping list
https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world...ore/ar-AAT82dG

Here is a summary of the military equipment Kyiv has bought or been given or promised, and the requests still outstanding.

The UNITED STATES has provided over $2.5 billion in military aid since 2014, including Javelin anti-tank missiles, coastal patrol boats https://www.reuters.com/world/europe...sea-2021-11-20, Humvees, sniper rifles, reconnaissance drones, radar systems, night vision and radio equipment. A bipartisan group of U.S. senators https://www.reuters.com/world/us-sen...tin-2022-01-17 last week promised further supplies that could include Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, small arms and boats.

BRITAIN last week supplied a reported 2,000 short-range anti-tank https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/uk-...sia-2022-01-17 missiles and sent British specialists to deliver training. It has also provided Saxon armoured vehicles.

BALTIC STATES https://www.reuters.com/article/balt...-idUSL1N2U127L Estonia is sending Javelin anti-armour missiles and Latvia and Lithuania are providing Stinger missiles.

TURKEY https://www.reuters.com/world/middle...gan-2021-12-03 has sold Ukraine several batches of Bayraktar TB2 drones that it deployed against Russian-backed separatists in the eastern Donbass region, infuriating Moscow.

The CZECH REPUBLIC https://www.reuters.com/article/czec...-idUSL1N2U11RH said last week it plans to donate a shipment of 152mm artillery ammunition.

GERMANY https://www.reuters.com/world/europe...ays-2022-01-22 is ruling out arms deliveries to Ukraine but is co-financing a $6 million field hospital and providing the necessary training.

UKRAINE'S WISHLIST of items it wants to buy or obtain includes:

- Helicopters, communications systems and light armoured vehicles from the United States

- NASAMS surface-to-air missile system from Norway

- Self-propelled DANA artillery system from Czech Republic, and shells for Soviet-made artillery with calibers of 120 mm and above

- Medium and short range air defence systems
