Washington will provide additional security assistance to Kiev. Ukraine will receive a radar system and marine equipment from the United States. The contract is valued at $ 200 million, Politico newspaper writes, citing sources in the American administration. At the same time, the publication does not specify when the first deliveries will begin.

The decision on Ukraine was taken at the end of last year - a few weeks before the talks between Moscow and Washington on strategic stability.

US congressmen interviewed by journalists said they only recently learned about the Biden administration's plans to provide additional assistance to Kiev. It is emphasized that the US President has special powers to write off budget funds. Under this mechanism, Pentagon equipment is sent to a country "in danger." The White House is obliged to inform Congress that "an unforeseen situation requires the provision of immediate military assistance to another country."
