Russian
strikes wounded more than 30 people in Ukraine overnight, AFP reported, a day
after Kyiv and Washington signed a landmark minerals deal.
The
Russian attacks continue amid growing signs from Washington that the Trump
administration will approve its first sale of military equipment to Ukraine
since Donald Trump took office, in an indication that the minerals deal signed
by the two countries this week may open a path to renewed weapons shipments.
The state
department has certified a proposed licence to export “$50m or more” (£37.6m)
of defence hardware and services to Ukraine, according to a communication sent
to the US committee on foreign relations.
My
colleagues Shaun Walker and Andrew Roth noted that it would mark the first
permission of its kind since Trump paused all Ukraine-related military aid
shortly after taking office.
