The United States informed about the allocation of a new package of military aid to Ukraine in the amount of $1.2 billion. Funds were provided within the framework of the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI).
The aid package will include:
- additional air defense systems and ammunition;
- equipment for the integration of Western launchers, missiles and radars with the air defense systems of Ukraine;
- ammunition for combating drones;
- 155 mm caliber artillery shells;
- photo services from commercial satellites;
- support for training, maintenance and support of Ukrainian fighters.
This is the second package from the USA in a week. On May 3, the Biden administration announced the allocation of $300 million in military aid within the limits of the presidentʼs authority, which provides for immediate deliveries from the funds of the US Department of Defense.
