The US is considering the transfer of another Patriot system, France is providing additional missiles for SAMP/T, and Latvia has allocated €10M for ammunition.

The Biden administration plans to send an additional Patriot battery and radars to Ukraine.

France has also prepared a new batch of Aster 30 surface-to-air missiles to be sent to Ukraine. The additional Aster missiles will allow Ukraine to continue using the Franco-Italian SAMP/T air defense systems to counter Russian missile attacks.

In addition, during a conversation with his Ukrainian counterpart, President Zelenskyy, French President Emmanuel Macron promised that additional weapons would soon be delivered to Ukraine’s Armed Forces.

At the same time, the Latvian government approved the provision of €10M to purchase 3,000 155-mm artillery shells for Ukraine within the framework of the Czech initiative. The country is also preparing its next batch of drones for Ukraine through the drone coalition.

Also, Australia will send $100M in new military aid to Ukraine, including a batch of modern inflatable boats with a rigid Sentinel 830R RHIB hull.
