US authorizes contractors to repair Ukrainian military equipment
ai generated text
The US administration under President Joe Biden is planning to send a "small number" of military contractors to Ukraine, marking a significant policy shift in the country's support for Ukraine. This decision comes in the closing weeks of the Biden administration and follows years of the US providing over $60 billion in security aid to Ukraine since Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022.
We are taking this action because some of the equipment the US has provided Ukraine – or will provide Ukraine in the coming months – such as F-16s and Patriot air defense systems require specific technical expertise to maintain.
These contractors will be located far from the front lines and they will not be fighting Russian forces. They will help Ukrainian armed forces rapidly repair and maintain US-provided equipment as needed so it can be quickly returned to the front lines.
