The administration of US President Donald Trump intends to push European allies to start buying US weapons for Ukraine, Reuters reported.
The agency cited two anonymous informed interlocutors.
According to these interlocutors, officials from the Trump administration, including special envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg, will discuss the topic of arms purchases with European allies this week at the Munich Security Conference.
"Reuters" specified that having Europe pay for U.S. arms shipments to Ukraine is just one idea the Trump administration is looking at ways to continue supplying Ukraine without incurring high costs.
In an interview with "Reuters" on Monday, Keith Kellogg declined to confirm or deny reports of such an idea, saying only that "The United States always likes to sell American-made weapons because it strengthens our economy.".
"There are a lot of different options. Right now, they're all still in play," Kellogg said, adding that supplies approved by the Biden administration are still going to Ukraine.
