Former US leader Donald Trump may offer Ukraine a $500bn lend-lease programme if he wins the election, The Wall Street Journal reports.
The newspaper published a commentary by former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
As noted in the material, the lend-lease will allow Ukraine to borrow as much money “as it needs to purchase American weapons”.
Trump’s plan may also include the cancellation of all restrictions on weapons for Kiev.
Such steps would determine the terms of the deal, the publication reported. The armed conflict will immediately stop because Ukraine will build up its defence, the author of the commentary concluded.
Earlier Trump said that in a telephone conversation with Vladimir Zelenskyy said that it was necessary to end the conflict in Ukraine.
