U.S. to Sell Ukraine Javelin Missiles, a Hot Topic of Trump-Zelensky Call
< < Go Back
Sale of 150 missiles follows earlier shipment of 210 Javelins
The Trump administration plans to sell more Javelin antitank missiles to Ukraine, U.S. officials said Wednesday, moving forward with a sale that Ukraine’s president sought in his July 25 call with President Trump.
The sale hasn’t yet been formally announced, but Ukraine enjoys strong support on both sides of the aisle in Congress, where lawmakers are expected to approve the sale.
The Trump administration moved forward with an initial sale of 210 Javelin missiles and 37 launchers in December 2017. Those weapons have been delivered and are kept in bunkers from which they could be quickly be dispensed to Ukrainian troop in a crisis.
