The Pentagon announced it will send a small number of defense contractors to Ukraine to repair advanced U.S.-made weapons, ensuring continued military support amidst uncertainties about future assistance.
Contractors will operate away from front lines, focusing on repair tasks for critical systems like F-16s and Patriots, with risk mitigation plans required for their safety.
U.S. officials highlighted that while Ukrainian forces are becoming adept at maintaining Western military equipment, specialized repairs will necessitate support from contracted American expertise to keep systems operational.
The move reflects ongoing American involvement in Ukraine amidst uncertainties surrounding the incoming administration's approach to military assistance, raising questions about future support and commitments.
