The US government may help Ukraine pay the price difference between Huawei equipment and comparable equipment provided by Western companies

The US government may help Ukraine pay the price difference between Huawei equipment and comparable equipment provided by Western companies, Keith Krach, US Under Secretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment, told Radio Svoboda on Tuesday. “You may ask yourself: why is China’s offer lower? Why do they provide such cheap services? Because they want your data,” he said. Referring to the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, he added: “The US government, in particular the DFC, can cover the price difference.” The Kyiv Metro’s new 4G mobile system, completed this week, is built with Huawei equipment.
