The agreement concludes months of fraught negotiations over whether the United States will continue to provide support for Ukraine as it tries to broker an end to its three-year war with Russia. The deal is intended to provide Ukraine with an implicit security arrangement while addressing President Trump’s concerns that the United States has provided Kyiv with a blank check to try to withstand to Russia’s invasion.
“This agreement signals clearly to Russia that the Trump administration is committed to a peace process centered on a free, sovereign, and prosperous Ukraine over the long term,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement. “President Trump envisioned this partnership between the American people and the Ukrainian people to show both sides’ commitment to lasting peace and prosperity in Ukraine.”
He added: “And to be clear, no state or person who financed or supplied the Russian war machine will be allowed to benefit from the reconstruction of Ukraine.”
The Trump administration did not immediately provide details about the agreement, and it was not clear what it meant for the future of American military support for Ukraine. Despite the fanfare, the deal will have little significance if fighting between Ukraine and Russia persists.
