US President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed the 10-year deal in a spate of G7 actions intended to deter Russian President Vladimir Putin.
US President Joe Biden and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy have signed a 10-year agreement designed to bolster Ukraine 's defences against Russia 's invasion.Questions remain over what happens to the deal if Donald Trump returns to the White House.
Trump has been sceptical of providing additional military aid to Ukraine, at one point criticising the "endless flow of American treasure". In the event of an armed attack or threat of such against Ukraine, top US and Ukrainian officials will meet within 24 hours to consult on a response and determine what additional defence needs are required for Ukraine, the agreement says.
The US and European countries have agreed to keep sanctioned Russian assets locked up until Moscow pays reparations for its invasion of Ukraine, a senior US official said.The highly anticipated agreement will leverage interest and income from more than $US260 billion in frozen Russian assets, largely held in Europe.
Mr Biden said $US60 billion mobilised by the US and the G7 is proof "democracies can deliver," as the US and its allies warn that China's investments come attached with geopolitical and economic demands.
