Kyiv • UNN
The United States has already transferred much of the weaponry from the first aid package to Ukraine to warehouses in Poland and Germany, reducing the time needed for delivery after the military aid bill was approved.
Despite the fact that Washington has not yet finalized a bill on military aid to Ukraine, the United States has transferred a significant portion of the weapons from the first aid package to Kyiv to Poland and Germany while waiting for the document. This was reported to CNN by its own sources, according to UNN.
Details
The source noted that this information is not officially announced, but a significant part of the future aid package has already been placed in warehouses in Germany and Poland, which will obviously reduce the time required to deliver it to Ukraine.
It is noted that artillery shells will be among the first materials to be delivered to Ukraine.
The publication adds that immediately after crossing the border, Ukrainian officials will try to deliver the materials to where they are needed as quickly as possible - but this will still pose a significant logistical challenge given the huge amount of weapons involved.
Therefore, even with the rapid approval of the first aid package, the advantage that Russia currently enjoys will not be eliminated immediately.
Addendum
On Tuesday, April 21, the US Senate is expected to vote on and approve a large aid package for Ukraine and other US allies worth $95 billion, of which 61 billion is earmarked for Ukraine.
Recall
Democrat Bill Keating, a member of the US House Foreign Affairs Committee, said that after the adoption of the aid law , the first package of US defense aid to Ukraine will be provided very quickly.
