New US decision on aid to Ukraine

Journalists carefully analyzed the communiqué of the Defense Security Cooperation Agency of the US Department of Defense.

The document states that the US State Department has supported and the agency has granted appropriate authorization for the sale of equipment to Ukraine. Congress has already been informed of this decision.

This step was a response to Ukraine's request: Kyiv wanted to purchase goods and services related to Patriot maintenance.

In addition, it is emphasized that the cost of the purchase — $105 million — has been preliminarily outlined at the "upper limit."

The proposed sale will advance U.S. foreign policy and national security objectives by improving the security situation of the partner state, the document states.

It is also currently known that the key contractors in the potential deal will be American defense companies RTX Corporation and Lockheed Martin.
