  • Kyiv has delivered a roughly $90 billion procurement list to Washington as the framework for the so-called Mega Deal.
  • A separate Drone Deal is being developed under which the United States would buy Ukrainian-made drones, with joint technical groups already at work.

  • Ukraine is preparing a controlled export regime to sell surplus domestically produced weapons and channel the proceeds into urgent defense purchases.
