The Pentagon on Monday announced the allocation of two military aid packages worth $1.7 billion to Ukraine.
Ukraine will receive two military aid packages from the United States at the same time. The value of the first will be $200 billion – for this money weapons from American arsenals will be delivered to Ukraine.
The second part of the aid amounts to $1.5 billion and will be implemented within the framework of the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI), which includes a wide range of activities, such as intelligence support, training of soldiers and supply of equipment.
US announces aid to Ukraine. Missiles, ammunition, equipment
The largest aid package includes missiles for HIMARS and NASAMS anti-aircraft missile systems, short- and medium-range air defense munitions, RIM-7 anti-aircraft missiles and electronic warfare equipment.
Ukraine will also receive Javelin and AT-4 anti-tank systems, optically guided missiles (TOW), precision-guided airborne munitions, artillery and mortar rounds, small arms, explosives and secure communications systems.
This is the 20th USAI package awarded by the administration of US President Joe Biden. “The United States will continue to work with 50 allies and partners to provide Ukraine’s brave defenders with the critical capabilities needed to counter Russian aggression,” the Pentagon said in a statement.
The final months of Biden’s presidency. He promised Zelensky support
Earlier, the US provided Ukraine with a $225 million military aid package on July 11, following a meeting between Presidents Joe Biden and Volodymyr Zelensky. The package included the Patriot air defense system.
Biden has pledged to bolster support for Kiev in the final months of his presidency and prevent Vladimir Putin from winning the war. The US leader also delegated his powers under the Ukraine Support Act to the heads of the Treasury Department, Janet Yellen, and the State Department, Antony Blinken.
