“We believe that we can begin to provide some materials, the first batch, within a week,” Kirby is quoted by TASS.

He clarified that details related to the delivery of this assistance are currently being discussed.

Earlier, US Air Force Brigadier General Patrick Ryder, a spokesman for the Pentagon, said that the delivery of six additional NASAMS air defense systems to the Ukrainian army would be carried out "within a couple of years."

CNN, citing the US State Department, reported that the United States will provide Ukraine with $53 million to support the country's electricity supply system.
