Croatia has handed over all of its Mi-8 helicopters to Ukraine, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has said during a meeting with Croatian Defence Minister Mario Banožić in the Pentagon.
"We appreciate Croatia's unwavering commitment to helping Ukraine, and we see it in your many donations of military equipment, including all of your Mi-8 helicopters and the forward deployment of your forces to NATO battlegroups in Poland, Lithuania and Hungary, as well as your donations of humanitarian aid," Austin said.
He noted that all of this is making a real difference in Ukraine's fight for freedom.
