Ukraine is set to receive a significant amount of funding from the United States to enhance its domestic production of long-range weapons. This move is aimed at strengthening Ukraine's military capabilities against Russia.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced that an initial tranche of funding dedicated to drone production is expected to arrive soon. Following this, a second disbursement of funding will be provided to further support Ukraine's defense efforts. This funding is part of ongoing discussions between Ukrainian officials and U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, highlighting the commitment of the U.S. to bolster Ukraine's military infrastructure amid ongoing tensions in the region.
