Official pages of the U
S. Congress have published significant information confirming the prospects of large-scale military cooperation between the United States and Ukraine. Documents dated as of April 29 record preparations for an export operation valued at over $50 million, which involves the supply of weapons and military equipment to Ukraine. A declassified document numbered EC-859, found among notes and records, provides important confirmation that the Trump administration is preparing extensive military support for Ukraine, as previously reported by Ukrainian and international media. According to this document, a US State Department legal office official addressed the Foreign Affairs Committee with a special notice regarding a proposed license for the export of defense articles, including technical documentation and related defense services, intended for implementation at a value exceeding $50 million. This indicates that the issue of supplying weapons to Ukraine is not hypothetical or a preliminary intention but is already at the stage of document processing for official execution. Earlier, citing diplomatic sources, Kyiv Post reported that the Trump administration informed Congress of its intention to carry out a large-scale export of military products via the direct commercial sales mechanism. This mechanism allows importing countries to conclude deals directly with American manufacturers of military equipment and weapons, minimizing intermediary chains. This is the first such case under the new administration, indicating shifts in Washington’s foreign policy strategy regarding support for Ukraine in its defensive struggle. This initiative aims not only to strengthen Kyiv’s defense capabilities but also to demonstrate the administration’s firm commitment to supporting Ukraine against external aggression and threats. At the same time, it sparks intense discussions within diplomatic circles and among political analysts, as the scale and specifics of such contracts could change the battlefield situation and influence the regional balance of power. Further steps for implementing this plan depend on approval processes within U.S. legislative bodies and diplomatic negotiations. However, the fact of informing Congress and the existence of relevant documents already serve as an important signal to the global community and Ukrainian officials. Ukraine is opening new opportunities to bolster its defense sector, but at the same time, the responsibility for transparency and effective use of the acquired military assets is increasing. This news underscores how strategically important supporting Ukraine is for the United States and how critical decisions in the sphere of military-technical cooperation are made behind closed doors and through bureaucratic procedures, which may eventually translate into concrete deliveries to the frontlines. It is highly likely that we will hear official statements and comments from the U.S. government soon regarding this initiative, which confirms Washington’s steadfastness and determination to support Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity.
