What is known about the new military aid package to Ukraine from the USA
As US President National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said during the 20th annual YES meeting in Kyiv, he holds daily meetings with his team to determine what means and tools need to be implemented to stabilize the front and prevent any breakthroughs from Russia , which could lead to strategic advantages for it.
Sullivan recalled that in April of this year there were significant fears about a possible breakthrough on the front line. However, over the following months, Ukrainian defenses were significantly strengthened at key points, and Ukraine also took decisive steps forward.
Sullivan emphasized that the issue is not political will, but complex logistical and operational challenges associated with the delivery of the necessary weapons to the front.
He also noted that the US is transferring 155-mm shells to Ukraine as quickly as possible, literally removing them from the production lines and immediately delivering them to the front line.
As an example of support, he cited the decision to divert to Ukraine all Patriot missiles scheduled for transfer to allies over the next 12 months.
I'm proud of what we've already done, but as President Zelenskyi said, given the challenges Ukraine is facing, we need to do more and better, and I agree with that, — concluded Sullivan.
Ukraine will receive new aid from Britain
