The United States works almost around the clock to deliver significant volumes weapons to Ukraine with “unprecedented” speed. This was stated by a Pentagon official, Ukrinform reports with reference to CNN.
“This is, of course, the largest recent supply to a partner country in conflict. Unprecedented here is the number of consecutive shipments that we send with such speed, “the official said.
According to him, previously the process of obtaining a permit to supply equipment from US reserves to other countries took weeks or months. It has now accelerated markedly.
“Over the past few months, we have become convinced that this whole process can be completed in just 48-72 hours, which is unprecedented,” he said. > He also said that another cargo of American weapons for Ukraine was delivered to Europe on Monday. Seven more such flights are expected over the next 24 hours.
According to the official, since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Biden administration has allocated $ 2.3 billion for the supply of weapons and equipment to Ukraine from US reserves. Another $ 300 million has been allocated under the Ukraine Security Initiative, which provides for the purchase of weapons from manufacturers.
