US to supply Ukraine advanced air defense systems

US to supply Ukraine advanced air defense systems, Transatlantic Today

WASHINGTON (Washington Insider Magazine) – – In order to aid Ukraine in its struggle against the Russian invasion, the United States says it will provide it 4 counter-artillery radars, 2 NASAMS surface-to-air missile systems, and around 150,000 rounds of 155mm artillery ammunition. 

The new supplies will be a part of the most recent US aid package for Ukraine, according to the Pentagon, which was revealed by US President Joe Biden at a meeting of NATO leaders and is anticipated to cost $820 million. 

There are also rumors that the package unveiled on Thursday may contain more ammo for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS). 

With a barrage of long-range missile assaults that have shook Ukrainian towns and a string of Russian victories on the battlefield in eastern Ukraine, the US believes its most recent help will strengthen the Ukrainian resistance. 

Russia has concentrated its offensive efforts on the eastern Ukrainian regions of Luhansk and Donetsk in an effort to persuade Kyiv to abandon its plans to win control of those regions back from Moscow. 

Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began on February 24 and resulted in widespread death and destruction in Ukraine as well as turmoil in global financial markets and supply chains, the US has contributed over $7 billion to the war effort in Ukraine. 

According to Biden, the US is empowering Ukrainians to continue to fend off Russian aggression. 

Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the president of Ukraine, expressed appreciation. 

According to Al Jazeera, a large portion of the help officially announced on Friday would take weeks or even months to reach Ukraine. 

While the US continues to provide the majority of the funding for the Ukrainian combat effort, other nations have also increased their support.

More than $500 million in aid, including air defense systems, anti-tank missiles, armored vehicles, explosives, and rockets, have been pledged by the United Kingdom. 

Additionally, Canada has sent supplies worth more than $200 million since February. Additionally, Ukraine has gotten support from a number of its neighbors, including Slovakia and Poland, as well as nations like Denmark, France, Spain, Finland, Sweden, and Norway.
