The United States is sending Ukraine more than 500 interceptor missiles for the Patriot and NASAMS air defense systems. This was reported by The Wall Street Journal, according to UNN.
Details
Citing U.S. officials, the newspaper writes that the missiles should arrive in Ukraine in the coming weeks.
It is noted that the missiles should meet Ukraine's air defense needs by the end of this year.
It is noted that more than $7 billion allocated by the Pentagon to transfer weapons and ammunition to Ukraine from its stockpiles remain unspent, as well as more than $2 billion intended to finance long-term contracts for the supply of equipment to Kyiv.
Recall
By delivering as much military aid as possible to Kyiv by January, the Biden administration hopes to give Ukraine a stronger negotiating position and strengthen its defense. At the same time, before the election, the administration intended to deliver the rest of the aid to Ukraine by April.
