A Breakdown Of Military Aid Promised To Ukraine

 

First Post: Stryker combat vehicles, Patriot missiles, Challenger 2 tanks and more: A breakdown of military aid promised to Ukraine 

It’s almost a year since the Russia-Ukraine war began and Kyiv has been provided with military equipment by more than 30 countries. The US has announced a new package that includes armoured vehicles such as the Stryker and Bradley, and others too have also made valuable contributions 

It’s Day 331 of the Russia-Ukraine war (yes, it started back in February 2022) and the United States on Friday announced a military package valued at $2.5 billion for Kyiv. The military aid includes 90 Stryker combat vehicles and an additional 59 Bradley fighting vehicles to Ukraine, in addition to hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition, the Pentagon said. 

Interestingly, the aid has been announced just hours before a critical meeting will be held at the Ramstein military base in Germany this evening to discuss the next steps in the defence of Ukraine and ways to fend off Russian aggression.
