US Greenlights Nearly $330M Military Package for Ukraine

The $329.1 million deal includes $179.1 million for Patriot system sustainment and $150 million to extend Starlink satellite communications, enhancing Ukraine's defense and battlefield connectivity.

  • On August 29, the U.S. Department of State approved nearly $330 million in military sales to Ukraine, including Starlink services and Patriot air defense sustainment support.
  • The approvals followed ongoing conflict with Russia starting in February 2022, with Ukraine's urgent need for air defense and secure communications driving the requests.
  • The package includes $179.1 million for Patriot system upkeep with spare parts, training, and software updates, and $150 million for Starlink satellite communications and logistical support.
  • Ukrainian officials noted Starlink terminals have been critical to battlefield communications and drone control, while up to 3,350 ERAM missiles and navigation modules will be procured as part of the sales.
  • The U.S. government aims to strengthen Ukraine's defense without shifting regional military balance, while congressional approval remains pending before delivery of the equipment.
