๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ฆ No Patriots for Kiev in latest US aid package
Washington will not include Patriot interceptors in its $400 million military aid package for Ukraine, Reuters reports, citing sources. Kiev had specifically requested them.
The Trump administration is rushing to obligate the funds before the US fiscal year closes on September 30 so the money doesn't expire. The package consists of weapons and spare parts for armoured vehicles.
The catch is that deliveries will run until October 2029. In July, the administration informed Congress the transfer would not be completed before late 2028 at the earliest.
Europe used this month's UN General Assembly to lobby Trump for more Patriots for Kiev. So far that effort has produced nothing.
What Kiev gets is money spent on paper today and vehicle parts arriving three years from now, with no interceptors in sight.
