As Russia's war on Ukraine drags on, U.S. security assistance is shifting to a longer-term campaign that will likely keep more American military troops in Europe into the future, including imminent plans to announce an additional roughly $3 billion in aid to train and equip Ukrainian forces to fight for years to come, U.S. officials said.

The total of the aid package — which is being provided under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative and is the largest to date— could change a bit overnight, but not likely by much. Officials said that it will include money for the small, hand-launched Puma drones, the longer-endurance Scan Eagle surveillance drones, which are launched by catapult, and, for the first time, the British Vampire drone system, which can be launched off ships.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said his country is providing more than 500 million euros (nearly $500 million) in aid, including powerful anti-aircraft systems. The aid will also include rocket launchers, ammunition, anti-drone equipment, a dozen armored recovery vehicles and and three additional IRIS-T long-range air defense systems, the German news agency dpa reported.



Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced $3.85 million for two Ukraine projects through the Peace and Stabilization Operations Program. It includes about $2.9 million in funding for ongoing development of Ukraine's national police force and other emergency services, and about $950,000 to help advise Ukraine's defense ministry.

To date, the U.S. has provided about $10.6 billion in military aid to Ukraine since the beginning of the Biden administration, including 19 packages of weapons taken directly from Defense Department stocks since August 2021.

U.S. defense leaders are also eyeing plans that will expand training for Ukrainian troops outside their country, and for militaries on Europe's eastern and southern flanks that feel most threatened by Russia's aggression.

In a first, South Korean general commands joint drills with U.S. troops

SEOUL (Reuters) - For the first time a South Korean general is commanding annual joint drills with American forces, the U.S. military said on Wednesday, a step toward Seoul's long-delayed goal of gaining command of allied forces in the event of a war.

The allies began on Monday their largest joint military drills in years, known as Ulchi Freedom Shield, with a resumption of field training, aiming to strengthen readiness for potential weapons tests by North Korea.

The exercises include an 11-day "computer simulated, defensc-oriented training event" to improve allied readiness, U.S. Forces Korea (USFK) said in a statement.

In the exercise, U.S. Army Gen. Paul LaCamera, who commands USFK troops, the U.S.-South Korea Combined Forces Command (CFC), and the United Nations Command (UNC), switched positions with his deputy, South Korean Gen. Ahn Byung-seok, USFK said.

The move was based on future command plans outlined by U.S and South Korean defence secretaries last year, LaCamera said in the statement.

"This is significant because, for the first time ever, the CFC deputy commander will take the lead as the future CFC commander," he added.

Since the 1950-1953 Korean War, the American military has retained authority to control hundreds of thousands of South Korean forces alongside the roughly 28,500 U.S. troops stationed in the country if another war breaks out.

President Yoon Suk-yeol has said South Korea is not ready to take operational control of those joint forces, after a push by his predecessor, Moon Jae-in, faced delays over the COVID-19 pandemic and other issues.

Yoon has cited a need for greater surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities, among other factors.

South Korean Defence Minister Lee Jong-sup participated in Wednesday's drills, which the ministry said aimed at better deterring and responding to North Korea's nuclear and weapons of mass destruction (WMD) threats.

North Korea has criticised the joint drills as a rehearsal for invasion, calling them a "hostile policy" that proves Washington and Seoul are truly not interested in diplomacy.



S. Korea to create new anti-terror unit

The government will create a new military unit dedicated to defenses against terrorist activities, the Prime Minister’s office said Friday.

The government said it expects an increase in terrorist activities down the road, largely due to increased instability and political tensions around the world. The government also expressed concerns that there is a higher chance that terrorists could make their way into the country as pandemic-related travel restrictions are being eased.

The anti-terror military unit, to be launched in November, would be formed by merging two battalions of the Chemical, Biological and Radiological Defense Command.

The unit will help the country increase its defenses against chemical, nuclear and biological incidents, according to the government. The unit will also help the government monitor illegal transportation of hazardous chemicals and other potentially dangerous materials that can be used in terrorist activities.

The unit was part of several plans -- aimed at strengthening the country’s capabilities to counter terrorism and other threats -- that were approved by authorities at a regular interagency anti-terrorism meeting presided over by Prime Minister Han Duck-soo on Friday.

Under the approval, the government plans to expand cooperation with foreign intelligence agencies and boost preparedness against potential terrorist activities in the country, including terrorist financing.

The government would also increase its defenses at airports and harbors against potential threats, while improving the country’s overall counterterrorism operations.

Han said relevant agencies should “maintain and develop a thorough anti-terrorism and rapid response system so that South Korea can stay safe from terrorism,” according to a statement released on Friday.
