American officials signed contracts worth $522 million with two companies that will manufacture shells for the Ukrainian army

This was reported by Welt and Radio Svoboda with reference to AFP.

The order was received by Northrop Grumman Systems and Global Military Products.

This happened due to the concerns that Ukraine is rapidly running out of the available artillery shells.

The US Army announced that the first batch of ammunition should be delivered as early as next month. The contracts are financed by the Pentagon's initiative to support the security of Ukraine.

 
  • The USA can transfer weapons and ammunition seized from smugglers near the coast of Yemen to Ukraine.

  • The United States is preparing a new aid package of $10 billion to support the government of Ukraine until the anniversary of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation.
