In the future, Ukraine has the potential to become the strongest ally within NATO, U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) said during a visit to Kyiv on Aug. 12.
As reported by RBC-Ukraine, the senator pointed out that the size and experience of the Ukrainian armed forces will transform the country into a significant military power.
“We cannot allow Ukraine to fight with one hand tied behind its back by providing weapons and then prohibiting their use in a way that is necessary for victory,” Blumenthal commented about the existing restrictions on the use of long-range U.S. weapons against targets in Russian territory.
“The world is watching. From the beginning. The world is watching Ukraine, but also the United States. China is watching. Iran is watching. All our authoritarian enemies are watching.”
He also noted the economic potential of Ukraine’s rare mineral deposits, including lithium and titanium. Currently, much of the global manufacturing depends on China for these resources.
