Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov said Ukraine has not lost any U.S.-provided High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), Newsweek reported on Wednesday.

Russia's defense ministry has repeatedly said its forces had successfully targeted the HIMARS, which have allowed Ukraine to hit command and control centers as well as ammunition depots.

Reznikov said that contrary to Russia's repeated claims, Kyiv still has all the HIMARS. As of August 1, the U.S. has delivered 16 HIMARS to Ukraine.
