The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, announced important news that has a significant impact on strengthening the country's defense capabilities. The United States of America will allocate 800 million dollars to Ukraine for the production of long-range drones. This initiative is part of the US force to support Ukraine in its struggle for independence and territorial integrity.
The New York Times writes that such a decision "may be a kind of consolation prize for Zelenskyi", who did not get permission from his partners for "long-range" and "testifies to a change in the tactics of the West".
They want to provide Ukraine with the opportunity "to wage war with its own weapons and on its own terms."
Since the beginning of the invasion, the United States has provided Ukraine with more than 61 billion dollars. as security aid, but refused to give money for weapons to Ukraine directly, "instead presenting their support for Kyiv in the war as a way to support American companies and minimize potential corruption."
But aid to Ukraine has declined recently, in part because of concerns about a dwindling Pentagon stockpile.
And Western officials began to praise the long-range Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian targets, as a result of which about 100,000 people were destroyed in a few days. tons of ammunition.
It will be recalled that the US Defense Minister Lloyd Austin stated directly the other day that Ukraine should hit the Russian Federation with its long-range drones, not relying on Western missiles due to their high cost.
