The United States will finance the transfer of these weapons to Ukraine as part of a new aid package.
The United States will transfer Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems to Ukraine. They will be part of a new $40 billion aid package recently approved by the Senate.
It is reported by The Washington Post .
The new aid package, approved on Thursday, May 19, provides for $20 billion in military assistance to Ukraine. According to the publication, the United States plans to finance the transfer of weapons systems such as Patriot and long-range artillery to the Ukrainian army.
In addition, the aid package included more than $8 billion in general economic support for Ukraine, almost $5 billion in global food aid, and more than $1 billion in support for refugees.
Patriot is an anti-aircraft missile system designed to destroy short-range ballistic missiles, aircraft and cruise missiles.

Better late than never, or?
Why now? Did Ukraine have to prove its meddle first? If so, in my opinion, it has already done so for two months.

Zelensky requested these 5 MONTHS ago. How many lives would have been saved if Bidenov would have just listened to him….and the Congress.

All those who refused to send weapons early enough and in enough quality and quantity, are guilty of countless deaths and sufferings.

The way I read it, TWP indicated Patriot as an example of what ‘might’ be supplied ….I’m dubious that will happen but won’t rule it out completely.

To be fair, I do think the Biden administration has been working on this for longer.
I also had read rumours on multiple websites that there are in fact 11 Ukrainian pilots training on F-16 fighter jets in the U.S.
The many billions allocated to Ukraine does indicate that heavier weapons such as fighter planes and Patriots are finally coming to Ukraine.
I hope the training was going on behind the scenes for quite some time.
I hope it is not just hopium from my side.
And before people accuse me of being a Biden shill: there is no question it is waaaaaaaay too late. But I think finally something is happening.

Bert I pray you’re right but over the course of these many months I’ve heard too much bullshit to just believe. I wish and pray you’re right.

But it could be mere speculations.
But I don’t think they will spend 40 billion on just some firecrackers.
