Yatsenyuk urged Europe to request the U.S. for a lend-lease program to support Ukraine.

The European Parliament needs to adopt a resolution in support of Ukraine and increase the budget for military purchases. This statement was made by Arseniy Yatsenyuk, the head of the KFB and Prime Minister of Ukraine from 2014 to 2016, during a special event at the Kyiv Security Forum on February 21. The event was broadcasted on the YouTube channel of Yatsenyuk's foundation, "Open Ukraine."
Яценюк призвал Европу обратиться к США с просьбой о предоставлении ленд-лиза для поддержки Украины.

This resolution should entail the provision of a long-term security package for Ukraine, noted Yatsenyuk.

Additionally, the European Union, according to the head of the KFB, should reach out to the United States to provide similar assistance, as well as lend-lease support for Ukraine.

Given recent information, particularly from The Washington Post, about the potential reduction of defense spending by the U.S., it is essential to urge America not to take such actions, he emphasized.

"We need to say: 'We are ready to purchase your American weapons, but only if you provide lend-lease for Ukraine. We are willing to increase our defense spending if you do the same.' This is a mutual process," Yatsenyuk believes.
