The U.S. approved a nearly $330 million package of military sales to Ukraine, including an extension of satellite communications services for its Starlink terminals and equipment and services to sustain its Patriot air defense systems.

The State Department revealed in a statement Friday that services to help maintain the Patriot systems will cost about $179.1 million — which entails spare parts, software updates, modification kits, communication equipment and other items.

“Implementation of this proposed sale will require approximately five U.S. Government and fifteen contractor representatives to travel to the United States European Command to support training and periodic meetings,” the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) said in the notice.

The State Department, in a separate statement, announced its approval for the sale of satellite communications services for Ukraine’s Starlink terminals, which also includes technical and logistics support services, with the cost expected to total about $150 million.
