US vice president Joe Biden told Ukraine’s president on Wednesday the US will send more aid to the country, which US officials said will include small drones and armored Humvees.
The White House said in a statement that Biden delivered the news in a call to Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, while expressing concern that Russian-backed separatists are violating cease-fire agreements in eastern Ukraine and keeping out international monitors.
US officials, speaking on a condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss the aid on the record, said the aid includes some small Raven drones systems, which can be launched by hand. The US will also send 30 heavily armored Humvees and 200 other regular Humvees, as well as radios, counter-mortar radars and other equipment. All of the aid is nonlethal, and the drones are not armed.
