May 8, 2024
On May 7, Defense Ministers of Ukraine and the United States Rustem Umerov and Lloyd Austin had a telephone conversation to discuss the situation at the front and American military assistance.
This was reported by Pentagon spokesman Patrick Ryder.
As noted, Austin “described in detail” to Umerov the current US efforts to provide security assistance, including a $1 billion package of weapons allocated from the US Army's stockpile and a $6 billion order for weapons from manufacturers.
The Ukrainian defense minister, in turn, “provided an update on the dynamics on the battlefield, as well as the impact of Russian air attacks that continue across Ukraine,” the Pentagon spokesman said.
