On September 16, the first arms aid package of the US President Donald Trump administration to Ukraine was approved and the transition will soon take place.
However, the funding for this aid package is based on the US's Western allies, according to previous agreements.
This is the first time Washington and its allies have used the new mechanism to supply weapons from US reserves to Ukraine with funding from NATO countries and also the first time Mr. Trump has decided to support Kiev with weapons.
The US transfers of weapons to Ukraine, after Trump returned to the White House on January 20, are all part of commitments approved by former President Joe Biden before the end of his term.
Deputy Defense Minister for Policy Elbridge Colby has approved a maximum of two shipments, each worth $500 million, under the new mechanism called the List of Priority Requirements of Ukraine (abbreviated as PURL).
This resumed transatlantic cooperation initiative aims to increase Kiev's arsenal of up to 10 billion USD, in the context of President Trump expressing his disappointment in Russia's continued aggression in the conflict with Ukraine, despite efforts to promote negotiations to end the conflict.
However, details about the list of equipment purchased by European countries for Ukraine have not been specifically announced, but this aid package is expected to include air defense systems - the type of weapons that Kiev has always proposed to support for a long time.
The List of Priority Requirements of Ukraine (PURL) has been approved by the Pentagon's policy unit and is continuing to process steps.
According to experts, Ukraine's needs have remained unchanged in general compared to previous months, mainly air defense systems, interceptors, complexes, rockets and artillery.
