Voice of Ukraine

From: Scripps News — On the heels of the new rare minerals deal between the U.S. and Ukraine, word is coming of another deal between the two countries, this one involving a weapons sale to Ukraine. It’s the first time the Trump administration has approved a defense-related sale to Ukraine. Congressional records show a notice from the U.S. State Department to Congress, preparing to authorize the sale under the Arms Export Control Act. It’s called Executive Communication 859 and it lists a “50-million dollar or more” sale to Ukraine of what it calls “defense services.”
