In late December, Foreign Policy reported that US arms sales to NATO members have nearly doubled by 2022.
In 2021, the US Administration approved 14 possible transactions with NATO allies for a value of about 15.5 billion dollars, while in 2022 24 arms sales were authorized for an amount of about 28 billion dollars. This sum includes purchases from Finland, which purchased $1.24 billion worth of US weapons.
Last week, the US announced that it would deliver 50 Bradley vehicles, the most modern armored vehicles sent to kyiv to date, to Ukraine as part of a new military assistance package of more than $3 billion.
