The United States, as part of a $ 200 million “secret aid” to Ukraine, is going to give it a radar system and naval equipment taken from the Pentagon. This was reported in the Politico newspaper on Tuesday, January 11th.
The publication in its material refers to the adviser to the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky and the representative of the US authorities. Sources confirmed that as part of this aid package, the United States is going to send its European partner “a radar system and some maritime equipment.”
The publication does not specify exactly when the deliveries will begin.
On January 10, CNN journalist Kylie Atwood said that the United States administration secretly approved an additional $ 200 million in defense assistance to Ukraine. According to her, the decision was made at the end of December 2021.
On January 8, the US State Department announced that American military assistance to Ukraine is defensive in nature, but the United States may increase arms supplies if the situation on the border with Russia becomes more complicated. Over the past seven years, the amount of American military aid to Ukraine has amounted to $ 2.5 billion.
On December 31, US President Joe Biden, during a telephone conversation with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, announced that the United States had no plans to deploy offensive strike weapons in Ukraine.
