The US administration is seeking Congressional approval for a military hardware sale to Ukraine valued at over $50 million. This marks the first such move since Donald Trump took office. In parallel, a historic deal between the US and Ukraine focused on rare earth minerals was signed, aiming to establish a joint investment fund for extraction projects. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed determination to secure funding for defense systems, notably the Patriot air defense systems, which are crucial for protecting Ukraine against Russian attacks.
On April 30, the United States and Ukraine signed an agreement to establish a joint investment fund focusing on extraction and processing projects in the future.
We are in for $350 billion, or close to it... Biden handed them $350 billion between cash and military equipment. We got nothing.
We will find the money and pay for everything which includes purchasing US-made Patriot air defense systems at a cost of $15 billion.
The signed minerals deal allows the US special access to new investment projects to help develop natural resources inside Ukraine, including natural gas and oil.
