Blinken announces allocation of military aid to Ukraine, 18 other European countries for $2 bln – media
KYIV. Sept 8 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Washington will provide Ukraine and a number of European countries with military assistance in the amount of $2 billion, Associated Press said, citing U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
According to the Secretary of State, Associated Press said the U.S. administration "would provide $2 billion in long-term foreign military financing to Ukraine and 18 of its neighbors, including NATO members and regional security partners most potentially at risk for future Russian aggression."
Associated Press said that in addition to this amount, earlier on Thursday, Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin announced the US approval of another package of military assistance to Ukraine in the amount of $675 million.
At the end of August, the Pentagon reported that since January 2021, the United States had provided more than $13.5 billion in security assistance to Ukraine. Thus, taking into account the approved new aid package, this amount exceeded $14 billion.
