Washington plans to provide the Ukrainian army with spare parts for military aircraft of Soviet and Ukrainian production, and in August to transfer a new batch of Phoenix Ghost drones.

The United States is preparing a new package of military aid to Ukraine, said John Kirby, coordinator for strategic communications at the US National Security Council, at a briefing in Washington.

The new initiative will be announced “soon,” he said. The United States plans to provide the Ukrainian army with spare parts for military aircraft of Soviet and Ukrainian production, and in August will transfer a new batch of Phoenix Ghost drones.

The Phoenix Ghost was introduced to Ukraine “in the early stages” of the conflict with Russia, a Pentagon spokesman said at a briefing. His name was not identified on the department’s transcript.

“They still have some of the original systems we gave them. Delivery of the next batch … will begin in August,” a US Department of Defense spokesman said. He noted that Washington expects regular deliveries in the future.

The US Department of Defense noted that it was involved in the purchase of large amounts of aircraft parts, but focused more on long-term cooperation in aviation.

“And we’ve actually been involved in trying to get a large amount of spare parts for these aircraft… But we don’t have such aircraft. So our focus in terms of potential investments in aviation is really more focused on the medium and long term,” he explained. journalists.

Earlier, the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksiy Reznikov held telephone conversations with his American counterpart Lloyd Austin. The parties discussed strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities and Reznikov announced “good news”.

As reported, both parties of the US Congress support the transfer of ATACMS missile systems for the HIMARS system in Ukraine, projectiles with a range of more than 280 kilometers.
