The US Congress approved the provision of $ 40 billion to Ukraine, most of which it should direct to defense needs. The package of American military assistance to Kiev may include Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems (SAMs) and long-range artillery pieces.
This is reported by the American newspaper The Washington Post.
The Russian TASS news agency asked the press service of the United States Defense Ministry to confirm this information, but they refused. The Pentagon did not comment on the likely supply of Patriot air defense systems to the Ukrainian military.
- the press service of the American Defense Department replied.
Thus, the Ministry made it clear that only the information published on the agency's website and the texts of official statements of its high-ranking officials are available to the general public, but no more.
The amount approved by the US Congress is a record. It is known that the package of assistance to Kiev involves not only funds for the Ukrainian military, but also for economic support and for the needs of refugees.
Not everyone in the United States took this decision with enthusiasm. There are those who are dissatisfied with it, believing that it does not correspond to the interests of their country.
