Trump sends $50m of military aid to Ukraine after minerals deal
- President Donald Trump approved a $50 million direct commercial sale of military equipment to Ukraine in late April 2025 following a minerals deal between Washington and Kyiv.
- This approval followed a notification to the US Congress on Tuesday and preceded the signing of a long-anticipated mineral resource cooperation agreement on April 30, 2025.
- The minerals agreement stipulates that Ukraine maintains exclusive rights over its mineral assets, sets up equal partnership in managing the fund, and omits any mention of Ukrainian debt.

- A high-ranking Ukrainian official emphasized that the agreement safeguards the country’s national interests and supports its ongoing efforts toward European integration, even as the United States continues arms sales.
