Overview

  • The State Department and DSCA sent Congress a formal notification for a proposed sale that cannot proceed without legislative approval.
  • Ukraine would receive 3,350 air-launched Extended Range Attack Munitions along with GPS units, spare parts, training, and technical support.
  • Financing is structured through a U.S. loan guarantee alongside contributions from Denmark, Norway, and the Netherlands.
  • The transfer follows a mechanism agreed by President Donald Trump and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte under which allies fund equipment taken from U.S. stockpiles.
  • The announcement followed recent Russian drone and missile strikes on Kyiv that killed more than 20 people, as the White House said the president was not happy but not surprised and urged both sides to end the war.
