Half of NATO Allies to Help Ukraine Buy US Arms

Currently, Ukraine is receiving US-made weapons via a special procurement program called PURL. 

It allows Ukraine to purchase arms from the US, including Patriot anti-missile systems, with funds provided mostly by European partners.

Baltic and Nordic nations said they were among those offering more money.

Separately, the European Union is negotiating its own plan to tap Russia’s frozen assets to help keep Ukraine afloat. 

The plan would use the assets, around €200 billion ($232 billion), to fund loans to Ukraine. The UK and Canada will also join the effort.

EU leaders are aiming to reach a political agreement on the proposal at a summit in Brussels next week.

Frozen Russian central bank assets is the only viable way

The European Union is increasingly convinced that tapping around €200 billion ($232 billion) in frozen Russian central bank assets is the only viable way to put funding for Ukraine on a sustainable footing as other sources of financing run dry.

This record number shows just how aggressively retail traders bought the dip on Friday

Friday’s bruising stock-market selloff unleashed a flurry of options-trading activity, as individual investors scrambled to buy the dip by scooping up bullish call options.

Involving more than 110 million option contracts on Friday, a new record high. 

That surpassed the previous daily record of 102.6 million contracts on April 4, and marked only the second day ever where total trading volume topped 100 million contracts.
