The United States and Ukraine are in intensive negotiations on a new security assistance package for Ukraine.
The United States is preparing a new package of security measures for Ukraine. It will adapt to the new war front in the east and south of the country, where the terrain is different from the previous main front. On Monday, April 11, CNN reported in relation to representatives of the U.S. Department of Defense.
According to the news agency, the new assistance could include more Javelin drones and anti-tank systems previously provided by the US to Ukraine.
“This is partly due to the fact that Ukraine already has these types of weapons in service and they are quickly available,” the U.S. Department of Defense explains.
In addition, Washington is in talks with partners and allies in Europe to find out what long-range air defense systems, tanks, armored vehicles and artillery they can provide Ukraine further from their own stocks.
These discussions are particularly relevant because the terrain in southern and eastern Ukraine was different from the terrain in the first weeks of the war, when the fighting took place in the woods north of Kyiv, where Ukrainian forces dominated. ambush tactics.
Ukrainians now need heavier weapons, such as armored vehicles and artillery, according to U.S. officials.
Ukraine still wants fighter jets, officials said, but the US remains opposed to it.
According to them, now eight to ten flights a day arrive in Ukraine with assistance not only from the United States, but also from other countries.
