US to provide Ukraine, several European countries with military assistance worth $2B

The US will provide Ukraine and a number of European countries with military assistance for $2 billion, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said, reported from Interfax-Ukraine.

Thus, the US administration will send long-term military assistance to Ukraine and 18 of its neighbors, including NATO members and regional security partners, in the amount of $2 billion in view of the problems associated with ensuring their defense.

At the end of August, the Pentagon reported that the US had provided more than $13.5 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since January 2021. Thus, taking into account the approved new aid package, this amount exceeded $14 billion.
