The Pentagon is giving Ukraine Mi-17 helicopters that Washington purchased for Afghanistan.

Mi-17 aircraft are mainly used to transport troops and military equipment. Ukraine is one of the former Soviet republics that is home to helicopters manufacturing and repairing facilities.

Those 11 helicopters are heading to Ukraine at a critical time for the country’s armed and manned military, as Russia ramps up attacks in the east and south of the country.
