Bridget Brink, US Ambassador to Ukraine, has reported that the US signed an agreement on 11 to supply Ukraine with US$138 million for the modernization of air defense systems, APA reports.

"Today we signed an agreement to provide Ukraine with $138M in critical air defense system upgrades. This funding will help keep Ukraine’s air defenses operating in the face of Russia’s relentless attacks on the energy grid and the Ukrainian people" the Ambassador wrote.

Earlier, it was reported that the funds approved by the US Department of State would allow Ukraine to repair Hawk anti-aircraft systems.

Following the results of the Three Seas Initiative summit in Vilnius, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine, once again called on partners to supply Ukraine with air defense assets.
