Ukraine's Plan for Acquiring US Weapons and Security Guarantees
August 19, 2025
Ukraine plans to purchase $100 billion worth of weapons from the US, funded by Europe. The goal is to secure security guarantees in the event of a peace agreement with Russia. Kyiv also proposes a $50 billion deal for drone production. Trump appears to prefer selling arms rather than providing military aid. There is a call for a ceasefire as a first step before further actions.
