After 15 months of war, Ukraine continues to receive support in its fight for freedom, this time from the United States and NATO.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has concluded a successful European tour in which he has obtained valuable military aid. During his tour of Italy, France, Germany and the United Kingdom, the main European allies, significant agreements have been made to strengthen Ukraine’s defense.
UK contributes air defense and attack drones
The UK has announced the delivery of a package of long-range kamikaze drones and air defense missiles to Ukraine.. These kits are specially designed to counter Russian cruise missiles and suicide drones.
With a range of more than 120 miles, the attack drones will allow the Ukrainian military to identify and attack strategic targets beyond enemy lines. The British Ministry of Defense has reported that the delivery will take place in the coming months.
Germany provides a significant military aid package
Germany, for its part, has committed military aid valued at 3.2 billion dollars.. This package includes Leopard 1A5 main tanks, Marder armored personnel carriers, self-propelled howitzers, reconnaissance drones, and IRIS-T SLM air defense systems.
These resources will strengthen Ukraine’s defensive capabilities and allow it to deal with Russian aggression more effectively.
Franco-Ukrainian support
France, committed to the Ukrainian cause, has offered light tanks, armored vehicles and training for the Ukrainian armed forces. The unity and support of these countries are essential in this fight, and Zelensky has stressed the importance of maintaining a united position in the face of Russian aggression.
US leads support for Ukraine
The United States remains Ukraine’s main defender. Ahead of Zelensky’s European tour, the US Department of Defense announced a $1.2 billion military aid package.
This includes artillery shells, air defense systems and anti-drone ammunition, as well as equipment to integrate Western air defense systems into the Ukrainian arsenal.. This funding comes from the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) and demonstrates the continued commitment of the United States.
