Quick Glance: US Sending New Patriot Missiles to Ukraine
  • As part of a massive $6 billion additional aid package, the U.S. will provide Ukraine with additional Patriot missiles for its air defense systems, announced Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Friday.

  • Discussing the need for Patriots, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy participated in the Ukraine Defense Contact Group meeting on Friday morning, where about 50 countries virtually gathered in a Pentagon-led session.

  • Included in the new funding, the largest tranche of USAI aid sent so far, are the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) as well as Switchblade and Puma drones, counter-drone systems, and artillery.

  • Months of deadlock among bitterly divided members of Congress over the funding led to House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., having to form a bipartisan coalition to pass the bill.
