U.S. Recommences Arms Sales to Ukraine as Peace Talks With Russia Stumble
A $50 million proposal through direct commercial sales has been submitted to Congress for approval
The Trump administration informed Congress of its intention to allow the export of defense articles to Ukraine through direct commercial sales (DCS) of $50 million or more, Kyiv Post reported learning from diplomatic sources.
The permission comes just weeks after the administration paused all Ukraine-related military aid to leverage US influence to end the conflict through diplomacy .
However, a week ago, the Trump administration announced the end of its mediation efforts as Kyiv and Moscow struck to their respective position of not giving up land for peace.
The $50 million sale license notice was submitted to Congress via the Arms Export Control Act, a law that authorizes US Presidents to control the import and export of defense articles and services, according to formal notice sent to the Congress from the State Department’s Legislative Affairs office.
The proposed sale covers the export of defense articles, including technical data, and defense services to Ukraine, Kyiv Post reported.
Earlier President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that his country was ready to buy U.S. air defense systems worth t$30-50 billion after the Trump administration announced the end of free military aid.
