A new military aid package worth almost $2 billion will provide Ukraine with a Patriot air defence system, the White House website reports.
After that, the Ukrainian military will be trained to operate it.
“Tomorrow, President Biden will announce a significant new package of nearly $2 billion of security assistance for Ukraine. It will contain a very important new capability: a Patriot missile battery, which will be a critical asset to defend the Ukrainian people against Russia’s barbaric attacks on Ukraine’s critical infrastructure,” the message states.
The US will also be involved in training the Ukrainian military to operate a battery of Patriot missiles in a third country.
Today, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy left on an official visit to the United States.
