Ukraine proposed a sweeping defence package worth $100 billion for US weapons, to be funded by Europe, as part of its push for long-term American security guarantees once a peace accord with Russia is reached, according to reports.
A Financial Times report stated that Kyiv also proposed a separate $50 billion deal with US companies for joint drone production.
The proposals were circulated among European partners ahead of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s scheduled talks at the White House with President Donald Trump, according to four people familiar with the matter.
During the high-profile White House summit attended by Zelenskiy and several European allies, just days after the Alaska talks, Trump assured the Ukrainian President that Washington would play a role in guaranteeing Ukraine’s security under any eventual peace settlement with Russia.
However, the details of the commitment remain unclear.
