Ukraine and US Working Toward 10-Year Military Aid Pact
(NewsWorthy.news) -President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced that Kiev and Washington are setting up a 10-year bilateral military aid agreement. The deal would secure ongoing financial support for the war-torn eastern European nation for the next decade.
The news comes as Zelenskyy pressures the U.S. to speed up its delivery of arms to the frontline after a long-stalled $61 billion aid deal with Ukraine was passed by the House of Representatives. In a statement released on April 28, the Ukrainian leader thanked the congressmen for their support and for voting through the aid package, after a discussion with House Minority Leader and Democratic New York Representative Hakeem Jeffries.
Though the amount committed to military aid to Ukraine in particular has been a cause for concern for many Republicans highlighting the relative lack of investment in securing the southern U.S. border, it is part of a larger $95 billion aid package voted through that also includes Israel and Taiwan. This is not the first ten-year aid deal arranged by the White House in recent years; in 2016 former President Barack Obama secured a record $38 billion deal in military aid to Israel. At the time Obama stated that the deal would help boost the country’s security in a “dangerous neighborhood”. In his statement following his talk with Jeffries, Zelenskyy said the two countries were focused on making the pact the “strongest of all”. He revealed that the ten-year plan includes military, political and financial support in addition to shared arms production. Zelenskyy praised the efforts of both governments in working on the draft.
