German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius has promised to provide six Sea King Mk41 multirole helicopters with components and spare parts.
Ukraine will receive 10 multi-functional inflatable vessels from Canada, for a total amount of $15M. The boats and spare parts should arrive in Ukraine by the end of spring. In addition, the country will increase its contribution to the fighter coalition, which trains Ukrainian pilots on the F-16. Training will begin in February 2024 and continue until 2025. Canada will also join the armor and air force coalitions.
At the same time, Spain announced its participation in maritime security coalitions, and pledged support with artillery, ground air defense, and Ukraine’s demining.
The Pentagon expects Ukraine to receive the first F-16s, their support infrastructure, and spare parts in 2024. At the same time, they noted that the lack of funding affects not only the US’ ability to send weapons to Ukraine but also to help repair those that have already been provided.
