Ukraine is asking European countries to spend 100 billion US dollars to buy American weapons. This plan aims to keep US support and interest from President Trump.

The plan includes 100 billion dollars for US weapons, a 50 billion dollar agreement for local drone production, and buying at least 10 Patriot air defense systems.
