U.S. President Donald Trump announced a new plan to sell U.S.-made weapons to NATO countries, which will then supply those arms to Ukraine. This marks a significant policy shift, with NATO allies footing the bill for the weapons, not the U.S. government directly. The weapons package includes Patriot missile batteries, PAC-3 interceptors, and other critical air defense systems, some of which could arrive in Ukraine within days.
Trump expressed frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s failure to reach a ceasefire, giving Russia a 50-day ultimatum to agree to peace or face severe economic penalties, including potential 100% tariffs. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte emphasized that European countries would coordinate with Ukraine to determine their military needs, with some allies potentially sending existing weapons and replenishing their inventories with new U.S. arms.
On May 19, Trump and Putin had a 2 hours phone talk about Ukraine.
Vladimir Putin then stated that Russia was ready to work with Kyiv on a memorandum for a future peace agreement, which could include ceasefire issues and principles for resolving the conflict, emphasizing the need to find agreeable solutions for all sides. The Kremlin confirmed that the conversation was “frank and meaningful,” with discussions also touching on prospects for expanded trade between Russia and the United States once the conflict ends.
This arrangement is expected to generate substantial revenue for U.S. defense firms, as foreign military sales to NATO are increasing at a historic pace, with this new plan further boosting demand. The move also reflects a more assertive U.S. stance in supporting Ukraine militarily while avoiding direct U.S. government expenditure on the arms, shifting the financial responsibility to NATO allies.

In summary, Trump’s agreement involves:
Selling advanced U.S. weapons to NATO countries
NATO countries then supplying those weapons to Ukraine
NATO allies paying for the weapons, not the U.S. government
Deployment of Patriot missile systems and other air defense equipment to Ukraine imminently
A 50-day deadline for Russia to reach a ceasefire or face severe tariffs
This policy aims to strengthen Ukraine’s defense capabilities while increasing pressure on Russia to negotiate peace.
