According to the Washington Post, such actions were largely supported by senior officials of the National Security Cabinet of Trump and Congress. Thus, the State Department approved a commercial license authorizing the export of sniper systems Model M107A1, ammunition and related components to Ukraine. The total transaction amount is 41.5 million dollars.

At the same time, the US government did not allow the export of heavier weapons such as Javelin anti-tank missiles. According to the Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate Corker, he is pleased with this decision.

It was supported by Congress in a project that became law three years ago and reflects the long-standing commitment of our country to Ukraine in the face of continuing Russian aggression.

He also assured that Trump personally approved the issuance of the license after the memorandum was presented with the participation of the Minister of Defense Jim Mattis and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.

Recall, as reported URA-Inform, December 12, Trump signed the US defense budget, which provides $ 350 million in aid to Ukraine.
