kolejny pakiet pomocy usa dla ukrainy ma być dużo większy

Administracja Joe Bidena przygotowuje większy niż zwykle pakiet pomocy wojskowej dla Ukrainy, który obejmie pojazdy opancerzone, a także pilnie potrzebną artylerię i obronę powietrzną.

Urzędnicy Departamentu Obrony USA wciąż dopracowują nową transzę, ale chcą, by była ona gotowa do uruchomienia wkrótce po podpisaniu przez prezydenta Bidena ustawy o zapewnieniu dziesiątków miliardów dolarów dodatkowej pomocy dla Kijowa, powiedzieli urzędnicy. Senat prawdopodobnie jutro wieczorem czasu polskiego przyjmie ustawę o pomocy Ukrainie, przesyłając ją na biurko Bidena.

Pakiet, nad którym obecnie pracuje Departament Obrony, będzie znacznie większy niż ostatnia transza Pentagonu w wysokości 300 mln dol., powiedział nam jeden z amerykańskich urzędników. Nowy pakiet będzie obejmować pojazdy opancerzone, najprawdopodobniej wozy bojowe Bradley. Oczekuje się, że w pakiecie znajdą się również starsze Humvee i transportery opancerzone M113, a także pociski rakietowe.

Administracja przygotowuje “duży pakiet, który pomoże zaspokoić potrzeby Ukrainy na polu bitwy”, powiedział nam drugi amerykański urzędnik, dodając, że będzie on obejmował również artylerię i obronę powietrzną.

Urzędnicy Departamentu Obrony pracują nad sfinalizowaniem szczegółów nowego pakietu przed spodziewanym głosowaniem w Senacie nad uchwaloną przez Izbę Reprezentantów ustawą zezwalającą na przekazanie Ukrainie prawie 61 mld dol. Pieniądze te zostaną przeznaczone na uzupełnienie zapasów dostarczanych do Kijowa, a także na wysłanie nowej broni i sprzętu.

W rozmowie telefonicznej z ukraińskim prezydentem Wołodymyrem Zełenskim w poniedziałek Biden obiecał szybko dostarczyć “znaczące nowe pakiety pomocy w zakresie bezpieczeństwa, by zaspokoić pilne potrzeby Ukrainy w zakresie pola bitwy i obrony powietrznej”, gdy tylko podpisze ustawę o nowej pomocy.

Pentagon wysłał tylko jeden pakiet pomocy do Ukrainy od grudnia ub.r., kiedy skończyły się fundusze na wysłanie dodatkowej broni ze swoich zapasów. W marcu urzędnicy Departamentu Obrony zebrali oszczędności w wysokości 300 mln dol. z poprzednich kontraktów, by wysłać pakiet awaryjny do Kijowa, w tym rozpaczliwie potrzebną artylerię, obronę powietrzną i pociski dłuższego zasięgu.

Jak informowaliśmy w sobotę, Stany Zjednoczone rozważają też wysłanie 60 doradców wojskowych do Kijowa, by ułatwić przyjmowanie transferów broni, jednocześnie wspierając ukraiński rząd. Doradcy mieliby odgrywać rolę niebojową.
