Washington’s latest $3 billion package of military assistance to Kiev announced Wednesday is aimed at training and supplying Ukrainian forces for a long-term conflict according to US officials.
The deal includes contracts for three types of drones, weapons, ammunition and equipment that may not reach the battlefield for up to two years, with more American troops set to be stationed in Europe.
The pledge, which takes US military funding to Ukraine over $13.6 billion under the Biden administration, comes on the same day that Germany and Canada announced $500 million and $3.85 million tranches.
