An airplane with a cargo of international technical assistance from the United States of America arrived at Boryspil airport. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Defense on Sunday, October 10.

This assistance was agreed upon during the working visit of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Washington.

“In addition to the previously agreed amount of $ 250 million, Ukraine receives from its American partners medical equipment, weapons, necessary ammunition, precision weapons and radar surveillance equipment for another $ 60 million,” the ministry said.

“The provision of additional security assistance from the US government to the armed forces of Ukraine is another testament to the inviolable strategic partnership between our states,” the Defense Ministry noted.

Earlier it was reported that Kiev and Washington are in dialogue on increasing aid. The Ukrainian authorities are seeking to expand US financial assistance to Ukraine up to a billion dollars annually.
