POLAND AND LITHUANIA SUPPLIED KIEV WITH WEAPONSFEBRUARY 12, 2015
The president of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly (OSCE PA), Ilkka Kanerva, told a Finnish news paper that Poland and Lithuania already delivered weapons to Kiev. Both countries are NATO members and support the idea of support the Ukrainian government with lethal weapons. Kanerva thus confirms suspicions that some observers already had.

However, it doesn’t specify what kind of weapons exactly were delivered.
When it comes to the general discussion of delivering weapons to the Ukrainian government, then Kanerva’s words in the role of the president of the OSCE PA can be seen as an
official confirmation that this has already happened.
Weapons have been delivered to Kiev – by two NATO members. Probably this will be considered in future discussions about supplying the Ukrainian government with weapons.
