US Congress's official site confirms: Trump plans to ship arms to Ukraine
Fuckin' score for Ukraine, eh? The Trump administration's confirmed the sale of up to $50 million worth of military shit to Ukraine, according to congressional records. The shyte's been kept under wraps, but it's all legit - the number's listed under EC-859, and it's all part of a proposed license for exporting defense stuff, including tech data and services, to Ukraine.
The first sniff of this deal went down back in April, with a heads-up from the State Department to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. Kyiv Post, citing insider intel from diplomatic circles, teased the approval of the export of military gear to Ukraine, worth a cool $50 million or more. This is the first time the Trump administration has gone forward with a deal like this since getting back in the saddle.
Now, if you're wondering about the nitty-gritty, here's the lowdown: the Trump administration's given the green light for half a billion in defense-related exports through the Direct Commercial Sales (DCS) program. The exact equipment they're selling hasn't been revealed yet, but it's gonna involve defense articles, technical data, and services. And yeah, this move comes after a deep dive into the U.S.'s military aid to Ukraine, tipping the scales towards diplomacy while keeping a firm grip on arms support.
While European Truth (probably European Pravda) and the Kyiv Post have jumped on this news, it's Ukraininform that's got the scoop, though it's not directly cited in the sources - but the details line up with what's been going down. This deal's all part of a continuous U.S. support system, facilitated by the DCS channel, which has contributed over $1.6 billion in defense transfers to Ukraine since 2015. As of May 1st, 2025, there's no contradiction in the reports, so everything checks out.
So yeah, Ukraine's got its new toys - keep your fingers crossed they use 'em wisely, 'cause the world ain't gonna wait for 'em to figure shit out.
