The U.S. has approved major arms deals for Ukraine, including air defense systems and armored vehicles, totaling over $320 million, in a continued effort to bolster Kyiv's self-defense amid the ongoing war with Russia.
The U.S. State Department has approved the potential sale of the HAWK Phase III Missile System and related equipment to Ukraine, with an estimated value of $172 million, according to a Pentagon announcement on Wednesday.
"This proposed sale will improve Ukraine’s capability to meet current and future threats by further equipping it to conduct self-defense and regional security missions with a more robust air defense capability," the Defense Security Cooperation Agency said in a statement.
The deal aims to strengthen Ukraine’s air defense capabilities to counter current and future threats.
In a separate move, the State Department also approved a $150 million deal for the sale of Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, along with maintenance and overhaul capabilities.
These approvals follow a virtual meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, which was led by the defense ministers of the UK and Germany, and attended by U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
