Following a meeting with Ukrainian President Zelensky and European leaders, former President Trump has outlined a plan for significant arms sales to Ukraine. The deal involves the purchase of $100 billion in US weapons and $50 billion in drones, funded by European nations. This plan was presented prior to a White House meeting between Trump and Zelensky. The specifics of the arms deal are still unclear, however, Ukrainian officials have requested advanced defense systems. Furthermore, Trump has proposed security guarantees for Ukraine similar to NATO’s Article 5, though without formal NATO membership. A pivotal meeting between Putin and Zelensky is anticipated within two weeks, potentially including Trump, to address the war’s conclusion and territorial disputes.
