According to him, military support from the first package of new additional aid totaling $60 billion is already on its way to Ukraine. Also, Blinken assured, something has already been delivered to Ukraine.
"But today I want to add to that by announcing that we will provide an additional $2 billion for Ukraine's external military financing," — emphasized the US Secretary of State.
In particular, as Blinken specified, these funds will be allocated for the first fund of its kind for defense enterprises, which will have three components. One of them will concern the provision of weapons today.
"So, it will help Ukraine to get these weapons," said the politician.
In addition, the second component will involve investing in the Ukrainian defense-industrial complex to further strengthen Ukraine's ability to produce what it needs, but also to produce for others.
At the same time, the third component will provide for the use of this fund to help Ukraine use this fund for the purchase of military equipment in other countries.
