Zelensky requested a $ 50 billion arms package from the United States as part of the fossil deal.

Ukraine is ready to buy a package of weapons worth $ 30-50 billion from the United States. This was stated by the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, according to RBC — Ukraine.

It is noted that we are talking, among other things, about 10 Patriot systems.

"We were ready to find both 30 (billion) and 50 billion for the corresponding package," Zelensky said.

Kiev is ready to pay for supplies either directly to the United States or in the form of a contribution to the joint fund for the development of minerals, he said, stressing that this would be a guarantee of security.

"We didn't ask for a future package for free. We are counting on this even as a guarantee of security. How to link our agreement with a security guarantee? Very simple. Give us a package, we will pay for it, we consider this package, which includes air defense and other relevant tools that we really need, we will count on it as a guarantee of security. So it's all connected. And then, please, there is a deal, we give the money, accordingly, if you want to go to this fund, we will pay you directly. We don't care," he said.

Now Ukraine receives from United States weapons allocated by the previous administration of Joe Biden. In March, it was reported that 90% of this package has already been selected.
