Igor Klymenko: The units of the “Guard of the Offensive” are 100% formed and equipped with equipment, weapons and ammunition as much as possible
The Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine told about this in an interview with the publication “Ukrainska Pravda”.
Igor Klymenko noted that since February, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has formed eight assault brigades: six in the National Guard, one in the National Police and another in the Border Service. These units were transferred to the subordination of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and commanders in the field.
“The intensity of the enemy's offensive or defensive actions is very strong. This requires an appropriate amount of ammunition and equipment. In terms of armored vehicles, we initially had a Soviet model or production of the countries of the former Warsaw Pact. And then we started getting American, German, Canadian and French equipment. As a rule, we ourselves submit applications to international partners, but also through the Ministry of Defense we can purchase this or that equipment. Everything depends, of course, on the budget of the Ministry of Internal Affairs,” said the Head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine.
