The U.S. Department of Defense has officially confirmed it has opened tenders for military contractors, thus, they will be able to repair American equipment and weapon systems in Ukraine.
This was reported by Pentagon deputy spokeswoman Sabrina Singh, Ukrinform’s own correspondent reports.
Tenders are opened for a small number of contractors who will come to Ukraine to help with repairs and maintenance, the U.S. defense department representative said.
At the same time, she did not specify how many contractors have already joined the initiative, promising to clarify this information.
