American assets were transferred to Moscow overnight, the Ukrainian minister was harsh

The video was broadcast by the TV channel Zvezda shared by the Russian army showed 2 M113 armored vehicles and 1 American-made Bradley infantry fighting vehicle (IFV), as well as the German-made Marder IFV, appearing on trailers.

Ukrainian-made Azovet armored vehicles were also discovered on the way to the area near Victory Park.

Hundreds of M113 vehicles were transferred to Ukraine by the US and its allies in the past 2 years. It is currently unclear whether the M113 mentioned above is a vehicle captured by Russia on the battlefield or not.

After M113, Washington continued to provide Bradley IFV aid to Ukraine. Many of these were destroyed in the first days of Ukraine’s counteroffensive campaign in Zaporozhye city last June.

Meanwhile, the German-made Marder vehicle was captured by Russia in almost factory condition at the end of March, near the stronghold of Avdeevka in the Donbass region.

After testing, the Russian military concluded that Marder was too heavy, not powerful enough and not suitable for the Ukrainian battlefield.

The last one appears to be the Azovets, a heavy combat vehicle produced by Ukraine but “mysteriously disappeared” from the production line in 2016. The Azovets mentioned above were discovered buried at a base near Mariupol City .

Many people speculate that the above vehicles will be displayed or announced by Moscow at the military parade celebrating Victory Day on May 9, the day commemorating the victory over Nazi Germany.

In another development on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on April 23 announced an additional aid plan for Ukraine, as well as a plan to increase defense spending for his country.

Holding talks with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Secretary General of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Jens Stoltenberg in Warsaw, Prime Minister Sunak announced that London would provide additional aid of 622 million USD to Kiev.

Prime Minister Sunak also said that by 2030, London will increase defense spending to 2.5% of GDP, compared to 2.3% at the present time.

Also on April 23, Ukraine announced the suspension of consular services until May 18 for Ukrainian men of military age living abroad.

“A man of military age goes abroad, showing the country that he does not care about the country’s survival. But then, he wants the country’s support” – Minister Ukrainian diplomat Dmytro Kuleba confirmed on social networks X.

Minister Kuleba’s harsh tone seemed to reflect Kiev’s growing frustration with Ukrainian citizens living abroad who did not contribute to the country’s fighting effort.
