This was announced on May 15 by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken at a press conference in Kyiv.
We will provide an additional two billion dollars in foreign military funding for Ukraine. And we’ve put that together into a first-of-its-kind defense fund, and it has three components,” Blinken said.
In addition, according to the US Secretary of State, the United States expects to sign a secure agreement with Ukraine within a few weeks. Currently, work is underway to finalize the text.
This was announced by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken at a press conference with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba, a Radio Liberty correspondent reports.
The Secretary of State also emphasized that the United States is focused on searching for Patriot and other air defense systems, and is confident that they will be transferred to Ukraine.
Blinken also did not rule out a meeting between President Zelensky and US President Joe Biden during the peace summit in Switzerland.
Blinken also responded to a question about the use of US weapons to strike Russian territory.
We neither encourage nor facilitate Ukrainian strikes against Russia. But, finally, Ukraine itself decides how to wage the war. Because this is a military war, said the US Secretary of State.
Previously, most Western partners, including the United States, opposed the weapons they transfer to Ukraine being used for attacks on Russian territory. However, the UK recently announced such permission. The head of the Latvian Foreign Ministry said that some countries transferred weapons to Ukraine with such permission, but did not name them.
