On July 14, 2025, local time, US President Trump announced a plan for military aid to Ukraine during a meeting with visiting NATO Secretary-General Rutte. Trump said that the United States will provide NATO with the most advanced weapons and equipment, which will be coordinated by NATO to support Ukraine, and NATO will pay all the costs.

Trump said that the “top weapons” made in the United States will be sent to NATO first, and then sent by NATO to “where they are needed”, and a set of “Patriot” air defense missile systems will be delivered to Ukraine within a few days. He also emphasized that this is a business for the United States, and European allies in NATO will pay 100% of the cost for this.

According to reports, the “top weapons” mentioned by Trump may include the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (AGM-158 Air-Launched Cruise Missile) currently in service with the US Air Force. Its improved AGM-158B missile has a maximum range of about 900 kilometers, which can bypass the opponent’s air defense and anti-missile system for precision strikes. In addition, military aid may also include authorizing Ukraine to use its existing long-range “Army Tactical Missile System” (ATACMS) and to maximize its range of 300 kilometers.

吕特表示，这意味着乌克兰可以获得防空导弹等“大量军事装备”，并感谢特朗普决定让乌克兰保持对俄罗斯的抵抗。他还提到，包括芬兰、丹麦、瑞典、挪威、荷兰和加拿大在内的六个北约国家都愿意参与武器采购计划。
