According to the publication of the Air Force Times, the budget for 2018 signed by US President Donald Trump, provides for the leadership of the US Air Force to buy land abroad and build military facilities there.

The funds allocated for this are part of the European deterrence initiative launched after the accession of the Crimea to Russia.

US military bases will host high-tech F-22 Raptor and F-35 Strike Fighter aircraft and reconnaissance assets to track Russian submarines in the North and Baltic Seas.



Also, the US plans to invest $ 14 million to build new hangars at the naval base in Icelandic Keflavik.

The repair of the US airbase in the Hungarian Kecskemte will spend 55 million dollars. These funds will go to build a new runway and additional hangars for fuel.

As previously reported, "URA-Inform," German Chancellor Angela Merkel plays a major role in containing Russian aggression. Ukraine in many respects hopes for it, because it depends on it the issue of sanctions against Russia.
