Reuters reported the information, citing its own sources.For the first time since returning to office, Donald Trump will use his Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA) to send weapons to Ukraine. The aid package is expected to be worth approximately $300 million.Although the final composition of the package has not yet been determined, sources indicate that it may include Patriot defensive missiles and medium-range offensive missiles.Until now, the Trump administration had only supplied Ukraine with weapons approved by his predecessor, Joe Biden. The Presidential Drawdown Authority is a mechanism that allows the president to urgently use weapons stockpiles to assist allies. Currently, $3.86 billion remains available for Ukraine under this fund.The publication notes that the weapons could appear on the front lines within a few days, as American stockpiles are located in Europe.On July 10, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that after a conversation with his American counterpart, Donald Trump, there were signs of a resumption of aid supplies from the United States.
