Trump Considers Sending Mercenaries to Ukraine

Donald Trump is considering sending private military companies to Ukraine, according to a report in the Telegraph. This move could help build fortifications and protect American interests, while deterring Vladimir Putin from violating the ceasefire.

Officials stated that PMCs could deter Russian aggression due to the risk of retaliation from the US. This move could be a middle ground, given Trump's promise not to send weapons to Ukraine.

In parallel, the State Department approved the sale of Patriot anti-aircraft defense systems and RIM-174 Standard ERAM (SM-6) missiles to Ukraine, funded by the US, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Norway.
