The US administration is moving closer to lifting a de facto ban on the deployment of US military contractors to Ukraine to help the Ukrainian military maintain and repair US-provided weapons systems.
Details: The United States withdrew all of its instructors from Ukraine before Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022 and has decisively ruled out a military presence on Ukrainian territory since then.
As a result, US-provided military equipment that has been heavily damaged in the fighting has to be taken out of the country to Poland, Romania, or other NATO countries for repairs, a process that takes a long time.
CNN sources said that over the past few months, the Biden administration has been re-examining restrictions on contractors in Ukraine in light of the continued advance of Russian troops and the delay in military assistance.
They stressed that the decision is currently being discussed and has not received final approval from the US president
