US Approves Major Missile and Radar Package for Ukraine
What Happened
The US State Department has approved a potential $2.7 billion air-defence package for Ukraine, including missiles, counter-drone radars and launcher upgrades. The deal is expected to be financed through European contributions and previously approved US military funding from the administration of Joe Biden. The proposal still requires congressional review.
Key Takeaways
The package aims to strengthen Ukraine's defences against Russian attacks while shifting more of the financial burden for military aid onto Europe and already allocated US funds.
