On Tuesday, May 9, 2023, the United States of America will announce a massive new military support package for Ukraine. We are talking about aid totaling $1.2 billion.
According to the Associated Press, it will be funded by the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative. It is noted that unlike American equipment, weapons and ammunition, which are more often sent to Ukraine from the Pentagon warehouses so that they can be delivered quickly, the funds from this fund should be spent over the coming months or even years to meet Ukraine's future security needs. .
AP sources said the new weapons package will include Hawk air defense systems, anti-aircraft munitions and air defense drones. In addition, the United States will provide Ukraine with artillery, missiles, satellite imagery, and will fund ongoing maintenance and spare parts for various weapons.
With the new aid package, U.S. military aid to Ukraine since the start of the Russian full-scale invasion will reach nearly $37 billion.
