Zelenskyy says ‘mega deal’ in works for US arms purchases

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Saturday said Kyiv is working on a “mega deal” for weapons purchases from the United States.

At a press briefing in Kyiv, Zelenskyy said Ukraine had provided detailed specifications of its military needs to U.S. President Donald Trump, including requests for long-range weapons systems, according to media reports.

“We discussed and agreed on the main points with the president. Now we are moving on to practical implementation,” Zelenskyy told reporters in Kyiv.

The package under discussion is estimated to be worth $90 billion, according to the media reports.

Ukrainian officials will visit the U.S. later this month or in October for technical talks on the arms purchases and a separate drone-production deal, Zelenskyy said.

Zelenskyy, who met with Trump last week in New York on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, said on Saturday that he had shared with the U.S. president “a certain vision of what could be done” to respond to Russia’s actions in its war on Ukraine, according to the reports.

“As for what Ukraine wants from the United States of America, it is all there,” Zelenskyy was quoted as saying. “We delivered to the U.S. president a request containing details and illustrations of what Ukraine wants,” he said. 

“But we are prepared for separate agreements, for individual types of weapons, including long-range systems. I cannot provide more details,” Zelenskyy told reporters.
