The Biden White House is set to announce an additional $1.25 billion in military assistance to Ukraine ahead of the incoming Trump Administration. The package includes munitions for various air defense systems, as well as artillery rounds. This announcement follows a previous $988 million aid package and reflects the Biden administration's commitment to supporting Ukraine before the end of its term.
In a final push ahead of the impending Trump Administration, the Biden White House is set to announce an additional $1.25 billion in military assistance to Ukraine . The large package of aid includes a significant number of munitions, including for the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems and the HAWK air defense system. The package will also include Stinger missiles and 155 mm and 105 mm artillery rounds.
The recent funding came after Biden earlier this month announced a $988 million aid package to Ukraine to ensure it 'has the tools it needs to prevail in its fight against Russian aggression.' 'This administration has made its choice. And so has a bipartisan coalition in Congress. The next administration must make its own choice,' Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin previously said during a speech at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California.
Trump also said he would end the war before even entering office without offering further details. Vance suggested earlier this year that the best way to end the war was for Ukraine to cede the land Russia has seized and for a demilitarized zone to be established, a proposal Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy flatly rejected.
