Signed shortly after a G7 summit agreed on a separate deal to loan Ukraine $50 billion based on frozen Russian funds, it comes as the White House tries to lock in support for Kiev with an election battle with Donald Trump looming. "The United States is going to help ensure that Ukraine can do both – not by sending American troops to fight in Ukraine, but by providing weapons and ammunition, expanding intelligence sharing, continuing to train brave Ukrainian troops at bases in Europe and the United States, enhancing interoperability between our militaries in line with NATO standards..." he said.
It also pledges to build up Ukraine's military, cooperate on training and work to build up Ukraine's domestic arms industry. Biden said five countries had already pledged to give Patriots to Ukraine, and said they would have to wait for the United States to replenish them until Ukraine's needs were fully met.
Summit host Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced the"political agreement" after the first day of the Puglia talks, saying it was a hard-fought but"fundamental" step.
