Ukrinform
KYIV, June 15 /Ukrinform/. Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk connects failure to provide Ukraine with weapons with the need for coordination of the Western countries, not all of them understand the level of threat from Russia.

He stated this in an interview with TV Channel 5, Ukrinform news agency reports.

"The decision to grant weapons is taken by the US President. The White House has certain geopolitical constraints in making this decision. Why? The White House should also keep the alliance with all our European partners. If one of the EU members, especially from the G7 countries, refers not positively to the idea of the arm supply to Ukraine, it directly influences the decision of the White House," Yatsenyuk said.

According to him, the Western partners sometimes underestimate the threats that come from Russia.
