Biden accelerates military aid for Ukraine: 500 million before Trump era!

A dramatic move by the USA! In a last rear up before changing the office, the bidet government put together a huge military aid package of $ 500 million for Ukraine. This decision comes at a critical time, while Russian troops move forward to the strategically important city of Pokrovsk in Donbass.

Foreign Minister Antony Flaschen presented this "significant package of urgently needed weapons and equipment" on Thursday. This includes, among other things, high -mobile artillery skills, ammunition, drones and armored vehicles. A real lifesaver for the Ukrainian defenders!

urgency given the threat

The clock ticks! With the election victory of Donald Trump, who will take the presidency next year, drastic reductions in military aid for Ukraine are faced. The bid administration has caused this view to wave through the already approved billions of bills at a hurry before it is too late.

Only recently have security and weapon packages worth $ 988 million and $ 725 million. After the latest package, Biden still has access to about $ 5.6 billion from the Presidential Drawdown Authority to bring weapons directly to the front - without the consent of the congress!

The situation on site is alarming. The Ukrainian army reports that Russian troops have destroyed or conquered several positions near Pokrovsk in the past few days. The case of this city, which is considered a logistical hub for the Ukrainian armed forces, would be a bitter setback and one of the largest military defeats in months.

massive attacks on the energy infrastructure

The Russian attacks do not end! On Friday, the Ukrainian Air Force reported that Russia released a massive wave of rockets and drones on the country's energy systems. Around half of the 3.5 million consumers of the energy company Yasno remained without electricity. President Wolodymyr Selenskyj spoke of one of the most violent attacks on the energy infrastructure since the beginning of the comprehensive invasion almost three years ago.

A total of 93 cross- and ballistic rockets and almost 200 drones were fired. The Ukrainian defense forces were able to intercept 81 rockets, including 11 cross missiles, which were intercepted by F-16 fighter aircraft, which were previously delivered by western allies. Selenskyj warns: Russia terrorizes millions of people with these attacks!

In Moscow, the Ministry of Defense justified the attacks as retaliation for a Ukrainian attack on a Russian military base carried out with US ATACMs. The tensions continue to rise!

In the middle of this chaotic situation, the leaders of Europe discuss possible peace missions. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and French President Emmanuel Macron brought the stationing of foreign troops in Ukraine into play in the event of an armistice. Macron emphasizes the need to find a way out of the war that takes into account both Kiev's interests and the European Union.

The EU foreign representative Kaja Kallas calls for an end to the Russian bombing to enable peace and possible peace missions. "We have nothing to discuss beforehand," said Kallas. The situation remains tense and the world watches averted!
