The package includes the Patriot air defense system, artillery ammunition, UAVs, and air-to-air missiles.
The United States is preparing to announce the largest military aid package in history to Ukraine under the USAI program. Its total cost will be $6 billion. Politico reported this on Thursday, April 25.
The United States is putting the finishing touches on one of its largest military aid packages to date for Ukraine, preparing to sign $6 billion in arms and equipment contracts for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, two US officials said.
It is indicated that this package may be announced as early as Friday, April 26, 2024.
The aid package includes the Patriot air defense system, artillery munitions, drones, anti-drone weapons and air-to-air missiles to be mounted on fighter jets, the sources said.
At the same time, it was noted that we should not expect weapons as part of this help tomorrow.
“Most likely, it will come to Ukraine in a few years, because the money is allocated as part of the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative. It issues contracts with American defense companies to make new equipment for Ukraine, in instead of withdrawing it from current US stocks,” the publication explained.
Military support for Ukrainian defenders as part of the new package will be sent soon. This was announced on Thursday, April 25, by the head of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Charles K. Brown.
Let’s recall that on April 24, US President Joe Biden signed a law passed by Congress that provides for the allocation of almost $61 billion in additional military and economic aid to Ukraine.
