President Volodymyr Zelensky has signaled that US support for Ukraine’s military is effectively unlimited, announcing a new push for “additional deals” for long-range arms that will be layered on top of an already colossal $90 billion agreement. His language suggests that the current pact is a floor, not a ceiling, for future cooperation.
The confirmation of these new deals, following a meeting with US President Donald Trump, represents a powerful statement of enduring commitment from Washington. It dispels any notion that support for Ukraine might be waning and instead indicates an intent to escalate the provision of advanced military hardware. A Ukrainian delegation is now tasked with turning this political commitment into reality in the coming weeks.
The focus of this “unlimited” support is squarely on long-range capabilities. This is a clear strategic choice to provide Ukraine with the means to systematically degrade Russia’s ability to wage war by striking its rear echelons. It’s a move designed to help Ukraine seize the initiative in the conflict.
The partnership is also becoming more dynamic and collaborative. The plan for the US to purchase Ukrainian drones adds a new dimension, creating a two-way flow of technology and resources that makes the relationship more sustainable and mutually beneficial.
As Ukraine prepares to negotiate these new deals, it is already receiving the fruits of existing support. The arrival of a US-made Patriot system from Israel, with more on the way, is a tangible sign of the robust and growing pipeline of aid. Zelensky’s message is clear: the spigot is open, and there is no sign of it being turned off.
