Advisor to Ukraine Army chief Rice says has no concerns Ukraine would viate any arms agreement

Dan Rice, a U.S. combat veteran and Special Advisor to Valer Zaluzhnyi, Commander-in-Chief of Ukraine's Armed Forces, said this in an interview with Ukrinform.

"In my experience with the Ukrainian Army over the past three months, we have found the Ukrainian military to be sidly united with the desire to fight and destroy the Russian army. I believe Ukraine is one of the greatest allies of the United States and have confidence that weapons delivered to the Ukrainian sdiers will not be diverted elsewhere and have no concerns that Ukrainian leadership would viate any agreement," he said.

Rice added that Washington has trust in the Ukrainian pele, their pitical and military leadership, and in the brave Ukrainian sdiers.

"And that is why I am constantly writing and speaking publicly within the United States, recommending getting the right number of weapons (more) to Ukraine immediately to drive the Russians out of Ukraine and help the 'First Army of Peace' win back its territory, pele, culture and peace," Rice said.

EU spokesperson Peter Stano earlier said that the Eurean Union has no reason to doubt the Ukrainian government's obligations regarding the prer use and accounting of weapons that are delivered to Ukraine with the assistance of the EU to ensure its right to self-defense.

Earlier, a number of Western media outlets suggested that NATO and the EU were allegedly concerned about arms smuggling from Ukraine. Both organizations denied such allegations, which may be the result of the Kremlin's disinformation campaign against Ukraine and Western countries.
