Ecuador discusses US arms transfer to Ukraine

The country will reportedly give Washington about $200 million worth of weapons in exchange for new American weapons of equal value.

Ecuador is discussing the possibility of transferring old Soviet weapons to the United States, which Washington could provide to Ukraine. This was announced by Deputy Secretary of State Kevin Sullivan during a visit to Quito, AFP reports.

“As I understand it, the Ecuadorian government is still studying this issue. This agreement is intended to transfer equipment to the Ukrainian government, which is resisting Russian aggression on its territory,” Sullivan said.

In January, Ecuador’s President Daniel Noboa said the country had agreed to give Washington about $200 million worth of property in exchange for new American weapons worth the same amount. We are talking about six Soviet military helicopters, missile launchers and air defense systems produced in the 1990s.

Then the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, condemned these plans and indicated that, if implemented, they would be violations of the terms of the contracts (they have a condition that transfer to a third party is possible only in written consent of the supplier). In addition, Russia, a major importer of Ecuadorian bananas, banned their importation.

In a recent interview with Ecuavisa TV, President Noboa insisted that “we will not cut ties with Russia” and reiterated that all the equipment in question is in the state of scrap metal.

It was previously reported that Norway has authorized the direct sale of arms to Ukraine.
