The U.S. State Department has approved a potential $266.4 million sale of an F-16 maintenance package to Ukraine, just days after the Pentagon announced fresh military aid to Kyiv.

The Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) said on Dec. 10 that the proposed arms sale includes the Joint Mission Planning System, spare and repair parts, weapons software, personnel training and training equipment, and other related logistics support for maintaining Ukraine’s F-16 fighter jets.
