Ukraine’s defense minister Feodorov said on social media on the evening of June
18 that partners at the 35th Ukraine Defense Contact Group meeting agreed to
provide an additional $4bn in military assistance. Of that, $1bn will be
allocated directly to the "Ukraine Priority Needs List" program to buy urgently
needed Patriot air‑defense missiles, $540m for extended‑range artillery
ammunition, and $1bn to purchase Ukrainian‑made drones, unmanned boats and other
unmanned systems.
