The deal will be financed by the German government.
The U.S. State Department has approved the urgent sale of three HIMARS systems to Ukraine. The deal, worth about $30 million, will be financed by the German government.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken called the situation on the front line “extraordinary and urgent, requiring the immediate delivery of needed weapons to Ukraine.” The systems will be supplied from the US Army’s stockpile.
Earlier, the United States officially confirmed the allocation of another $400 million military aid package to Ukraine. It will include missiles for Patriot and Stinger SAMs, Bradley and MRAP armored personnel carriers, Javelin systems, and other weapons. This was reported by the White House.
Politico noted that the package would include weapons that are already in U.S. warehouses, including new missiles for Patriot SAMs, Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, Bradley combat vehicles, and other weapons.
