WASHINGTON – The US will dispatch an additional $1.2 billion in military aid to Ukraine as Kyiv prepares its long-anticipated counter-offensive against Russia, the State Department announced Tuesday.
The package, which will not come from US stocks but be purchased with congressionally approved funds, will include additional air defense systems and munitions; ammunition for counter-drone systems; 155mm artillery rounds; satellite imagery services; and “support for training, maintenance, and sustainment activities,” the department said.
The aid is designed “to bolster its air defenses and sustain [Ukraine’s] artillery ammunition needs,” according to an agency statement, which added that the material is also meant to support “building the capacity of Ukraine’s Armed Forces to defend its territory and deter Russian aggression over the long term.”
The package will also include “equipment to integrate Western air defense launchers, missiles and radars with Ukraine’s air defense systems,” which is particularly important as Kyiv’s troops work with both donated weaponry and their existing systems.
If the U.S. really wants to help the ukrainian people, they would discreetly send 10 mercenaries (Soldiers of Fortune) to Russia. That would save billions of dollars for all involved in this egotistic war
You mean the same way we started in Viet Nam, with “military advisors” in the 1950s, then cannon fodder conscripts in the 1960s and 1970s?
