YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said the nation is willing to buy the next tranche of military assistance from the US while it still awaits a reply from the White House on the prospects of it sending vital future war-aid lifelines.

Ukraine has requested aid from Washington worth $30 billion to $50 billion, and it’s willing to pay for it — either directly to US or as a contribution to the joint mineral deal fund which is yet to be created, Zelenskiy told reporters on Wednesday in the capital Kyiv.

“We did not ask for next package free of charge,” Zelenskiy said.

US President Donald Trump is pushing Ukraine for a deal to share future profits from Ukrainian minerals, which he sees as compensation for the tens of billions of dollars in assistance given to the nation since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion three years ago. Kyiv seeks a larger US investment as part of any agreement amid concerns that giving Washington vast privileges could complicate its bid to join the European Union.
