Washington will offer Ukraine another aid package of 500 million dollars
The United States will provide Ukraine with military assistance worth up to $500 million, which will include more than 50 heavy armored vehicles and missiles for air defense systems, the Associated Press and Voice of America reported, cited by the BBC.
According to these sources, Washington will send 30 Bradley fighting vehicles, 25 Stryker armored vehicles, HIMARS multiple missile launchers and Patriot air defense systems, Javelin missiles, HARM high-speed anti-radar missiles, explosive munitions, obstacle removal equipment , artillery shells and other ammunition.
VOA quoted an official as saying the package would include a large number of Bangalore torpedoes. The official said the smaller number of Bangalore torpedoes already supplied to the Ukrainian Armed Forces had proved to be "extremely useful" for the Ukrainian forces.
The new aid package, which will be the 41st since the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, will be officially announced by the United States on Tuesday, June 27, the AP reports.
In total, since the beginning of the Russian invasion, Washington has supplied Ukraine with weapons and equipment from its stockpiles worth more than 15 billion dollars.
