Ukraine receives $200 million funding from US
The US Department of Defense (DoD) will provide $200 million to Ukraine under security cooperation funds for additional training, equipment and advisory efforts, the DoD announced on 20 July.
The funds will support Ukraine to build the defensive capacity for its armed forces. It will provide equipment to support ongoing training programmes and operational needs, including capabilities to enhance Ukraine’s C2, situational awareness systems, secure communications, military mobility, night vision and military medical treatment.
The security cooperation builds on Ukraine’s recent adoption of the Law on National Security. This law, which provides a legislative framework for aligning Ukraine’s national security architecture with Euro-Atlantic principles, constitutes a major step toward Ukraine’s goal of achieving NATO interoperability.
The added funds brings the total US security sector assistance to Ukraine to more than $1 billion since 2014. A timeline for delivery and fielding of equipment will be determined at a later date.
