Kyiv, March 4 || Ukraine has enough reserves to withstand the conflict with Russia for about six months without US support, the RBC-Ukraine online media outlet reported Tuesday, citing a senior parliament official.
"Our military-industrial complex has significantly expanded over the past three years, and it is capable of offsetting threats and risks," said Fedir Venislavsky, a Member of the Parliament's defence committee.
However, he acknowledged that Ukraine relies on the United States for certain weapons, including air defence systems and long-range multiple-launch rocket systems.
Venislavsky said that efforts are underway to secure alternative sources of supply for critically important weapons, news agency reported.
According to multiple media reports, the US administration suspended delivery of military aid to Ukraine earlier in the day, days after the Oval Office saw a heated exchange between the Ukrainian and US presidents at the White House.
