U.S. to expand military, technical aid to Ukraine due to Russia’s aggression
The United States is planning to expand military and technical aid to Ukraine due to Russia’s aggression.
The relevant bill that has passed two Congress readings has been submitted to the U.S. House Committee on Foreign Affairs for preparation for the final approval. The bill, in particular, delegates the right to the U.S. Rresident to provide defence, services and training to Ukraine at the request of the Ukrainian government, taking into account the needs of the Ukrainian Army. The military assistance includes supplies of antitank, anti-aircraft and small arms and ammunition; armoured vehicles, multi-purpose vehicles, inflatable boats, and body armour.
