The technical details will be finalized in the coming weeks, the G7 diplomatic source told Reuters. The source, who declined to be named, said additional funds would arrive by the end of this year.
A senior American official said America itself had agreed to provide funds of up to 50 billion US dollars, but that amount could decline significantly when other countries announced their participation.
The purpose of the agreement is to ensure the agreement can run for years regardless of who is in power in each G7 state.
This is in line with concerns that Republican Republican Donald Trump's candidate may be less sympathetic to Kyiv if he defeats Biden in November 2024, according to someone close to talks.
