US Clears Way for $2.7 Billion Sale to Ukraine of Air-Defense Development Upgrades
- On Friday, the State Department approved a potential $2.7 billion military sale to Ukraine for air defense development upgrades and related equipment, pending congressional review.
- Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in early 2022, and President Donald Trump has seen his goal of ending the war remain elusive 20 months into his presidency.
- The package includes S-300 clone missiles, GAM-67 missiles, and counter-drone radars, with financing from European contributions and Foreign Military Financing appropriated during President Joe Biden's administration.
- Via a 1:1 reimbursement structure, the FMF will be counted as a US capital contribution to the US-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund, established last year as part of a minerals deal.
- Earlier on Friday, Trump signed a sweeping Russia sanctions bill into law, aiming to increase economic pressure on Russia amid the ongoing conflict with Ukraine.
