The United States is preparing a $375 million military aid package for Ukraine, which it plans to announce next week.
Source: Reuters, citing US officials who spoke on condition of anonymity
Details: The aid package, expected to be announced next week, includes patrol boats, additional munitions for the High Mobility Artillery Missile Systems (HIMARS), 155- and 105-millimeter artillery ammunition, spare parts and other weapons.
The publication adds that the contents and size of the package may change in the coming days before the president’s expected signature.
The publication recalls that since May, the US has not provided more than $275 million in aid packages due to the President’s Arms Reduction Authority (PDA).
Literally: “PDA allows the US to use existing stockpiles of weapons to provide assistance to allies in emergency situations. In August, when Ukraine was approaching Russia (during the operation in the Kursk region – ed.) and was losing territory in the east due to the Russian offensive, the US sent two aid packages , each worth $125 million.”
Details: Reuters adds that pro-Ukrainian leaders in the US Congress and the administration of President Joe Biden are working to reach an agreement to extend for one year an action on aid worth about $5.5 billion to Ukraine, which expires on September 30.
We will remind: President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on the US to implement agreements on the supply of military aid without delay.
