Ukrainian media reported on US plans to sell weapons to Kiev for $ 50 million.

After signing an agreement with Ukraine on minerals, the United States plans to sell weapons worth $50 million to Kiev. This was reported on May 1 by the Ukrainian newspaper Kyiv Post.

"The administration of [US President Donald] Trump informed Congress of his intention to give the green light to the export of defense products to Ukraine <...> in the amount of at least $50 million," the publication said.

It is noted that deliveries will be carried out through direct commercial sales. This is the first such permit since Trump took office as head of state, the Kyiv Post writes.

The day before, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that Washington and Kiev had signed an agreement on Ukraine's natural resources. In addition, the countries have concluded a deal on the creation of an investment fund for the reconstruction of Ukraine, he added.

At the same time, Trump said that the American side was receiving much more than it had invested in the framework of the agreement with Ukraine on its minerals.
