Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that Kyiv has received a $5 billion pledge from European allies to purchase U.S.-made weapons, with $1.5 billion already delivered. The funding, part of NATO’s ‘Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List’ initiative, is aimed at strengthening Ukraine’s defense. Zelensky also met UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer in London, emphasizing bilateral cooperation. Analysts highlight that the upcoming Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska could have major implications for Ukraine and Europe, even though neither leader will attend.
