The White House has unveiled a new strategy to support Ukraine - what is known about the plan
Kyiv • UNN
The USA has developed a plan to strengthen Ukraine's military position by providing weapons and new sanctions against the Russian Federation. The plan includes the supply of equipment, military training, and a $20 billion credit from frozen Russian assets.
The White House has developed a strategy to strengthen Ukraine's military position, which involves providing weapons assistance and imposing new large-scale sanctions against Russia. This includes hundreds of thousands of additional shells, thousands of missiles, and hundreds of armored vehicles. This was announced by National Security Council spokesman Jake Sullivan, writes UNN citing The Guardian.
Details
On Thursday, Jake Sullivan met for over an hour with the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Yermak, promising to provide Ukraine with hundreds of thousands of additional artillery shells, thousands of missiles, and hundreds of armored vehicles by mid-January.
The US also promises to support Ukraine in addressing the personnel issue, offering to train new troops at facilities outside Ukrainian territory. In addition, as The Guardian notes, the US is in the process of finalizing a $20 billion loan that will be repaid from the profits of frozen Russian state assets.
It is also reported that another package of sanctions against Russia will be introduced in the coming weeks.
All this is being done to complicate Russia's ability to maintain military operations and strengthen Ukraine's position at the negotiating table, which could lay the groundwork for a future settlement.
Reminder
The Biden administration announced an additional $725 million in military aid to Ukraine, which occurred a little over a month before Donald Trump's inauguration.
According to a Reuters report, advisers to the newly elected US President Donald Trump are developing plans to end the war in Ukraine, which involve concessions to Russia, including ceding a significant portion of the country's territory and abandoning NATO membership. The proposals include freezing the front lines and a "carrot and stick" system for both sides.
