The U.S. government has approved the sale of more than 3,000 Extended-Range Attack Munition air-to-air missiles to Ukraine in a package valued at roughly $850 million. The deal, signed by President Donald Trump, is structured so that European allies will finance the purchase, and the missiles are scheduled to begin arriving in Ukraine within six weeks, according to people familiar with the agreement. Under the terms of the sale, Ukraine will require Pentagon authorization before the weapons can be fired, underscoring Washington’s continued control over the deployment of advanced U.S. munitions. The latest package comes as Norway separately pledged $695 million to supply Patriot air-defence systems to Kyiv, adding to a growing European effort to bolster Ukraine’s long-range strike and air-defence capabilities.
