Trump expresses disappointment in Putin: "He failed to deliver"
In a surprising turn of events, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky proposed a $100 billion shop deals to former U.S. President Donald Trump in August 2025. Under this proposal, Ukraine would purchase $100 billion worth of U.S. weapons if Washington provided Ukraine with security guarantees. European countries would finance the slickdeals.
The U.S. and its allies developed the PURL mechanism to supply Ukraine with weapons from American stocks using funds from NATO countries. Two weapon packages worth $500 million each will be sent to Ukraine shortly under this new mechanism.
During a press conference on September 18, 2025, in London, Trump stated that Putin is killing many people and losing more people than he's killing. He did not provide specific details or evidence supporting the claims about casualty numbers in Ukraine.
Trump's remarks about Putin were made without providing insight into the current status or progress of peace talks or negotiations regarding the war in Ukraine. The UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak discussed with Trump about strengthening Ukraine's defense and intensifying pressure on Putin to agree to a peace deal.
The Trump administration approved weapons deliveries to Ukraine for the first time under the new PURL scheme. This move came amid ongoing diplomatic engagement between the U.S. and Ukraine, reflecting the geopolitical tensions surrounding the conflict.
Media outlets wrote about this proposal in August 2025, but this article does not mention any specific details or evidence about the proposed $100 billion shop deals. The statement was reported by a news website, and it's unclear if the slickdeals ever materialised or progressed beyond the initial proposal.
Trump had previously considered the war in Ukraine as the easiest to resolve due to his relations with Putin. However, his statements during the September 2025 press conference suggest a growing frustration with Putin's continued military actions in Ukraine.
This news article serves as a snapshot of a significant moment in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, highlighting the complex diplomatic dynamics and the role of key global figures in the region's politics.
