According to US officials, a formal announcement is expected in the coming days, possibly as early as Thursday.

However, the plan still needs final approval from US President Joe Biden along with US Defence secretary Lloyd Austin.

Once the agreement is signed off as expected, the state-of-the-art defence system will be shipped to Germany, where Ukrainian troops will be trained in its use.
