Zelensky Reveals U.S. and Ukraine ‘Working’ on Scheme for 10 Years of Military Aid
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed that the United States and Ukrainian governments are “working on a bilateral security agreement” that would result in sending additional monetary aid to Ukraine over the next ten years.
In a statement issued on Sunday, Zelensky noted he had spoken to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) thanking “him and all the congressmen for their support” of Ukraine and for voting to send a $61 billion aid package out of a $95 billion foreign aid package.
Zelensky added that during his conversation with Jeffries, he had “emphasized the need for Patriot systems.”
This is not the first time Zelensky has begged for more American-made Patriot missile systems to be sent to Ukraine.
Currently, Ukraine has three Patriot systems, one from the U.S. and two reportedly from Germany, according to the Washington Post.
On Friday, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin revealed that the U.S. would be sending Ukraine more Patriot systems as part of an additional $6 billion foreign aid package.
