WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – The United States has decided to move forward with a $2 billion foreign military financing loan to Poland under which it will sell 96 Apache attack helicopters, White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said on Tuesday.

Today, the President [Joe Biden] will share with Poland’s leaders that the United States plans to move forward with a new $2 billion Foreign Military Financing direct loan to Poland, using previously appropriated congressional funds and will offer to sell Poland 96 Apache helicopters,” Sullivan said during a press briefing.

After sending some €3 billion worth of Soviet-era equipment to Kiev, Poland has been left highly dependent on assistance from its US allies, and on contracts with South Korea, when it comes to replenishing its stocks.
