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

A dramatic move by the USA: $500 million in military aid for Ukraine!

The clock ticks! While the world is watching the world, the United States has put together a huge military package of $ 500 million for Ukraine. This is done in the course of a last creation of the outgoing President Joe Biden, who would like to quickly strengthen Ukraine defense before Donald Trump's taking office.

Foreign Minister Antony Blinking presented the "significant delivery of urgently needed weapons and equipment" on Thursday. These include high-mobile artillery rocket systems, ammunition, drones and armored vehicles-everything that Ukraine now needs to assert themselves against the Russian aggression!

A race against time

The election of Donald Trump could drastically reduce military aid to Ukraine. That troubling prospect has led the Biden administration to quickly wave through billions in already-approved aid before Trump takes the helm. Under the new package, Biden still has access to about $5.6 billion in presidential authorization to deliver weapons directly to the front lines without congressional approval.

John Kirby, spokesman for national security, emphasized on Thursday that Biden "will continue to provide additional packages by the end of his term". A clear sign that the support for Ukraine in this critical phase of war will not be deceptive!

The situation on site is tense: Russian troops are unstoppable to the key town of Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region. The loss of this city, an important logistics center for the Ukrainian army, would be one of the largest military defeats for Ukraine for months. In the past few days, the Ukrainian military has reported destroyed or conquered positions by the Russian armed forces.

Russian attacks on energy supplies

The location continues! On Friday, the Ukrainian Air Force reported that Russia started a massive offensive with rockets and drones on the country's energy systems. Around half of the 3.5 million consumers of the energy company Yasno were without electricity - a devastating blow in the middle of the war!

The Russian Defense Ministry said this large-scale attack, the 12th this year on the power grid, was in retaliation for a Ukrainian attack on a military airport in the Rostov region. Ukraine struck with long-range missiles supplied by the USA.

Amid this chaotic situation, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk discussed with French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday the possibility of stationing foreign troops in Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire. Macron called for a way out of the conflict that takes into account the interests of both Kiev and the European Union.

The EU foreign commissioner Kaja Kallas made it clear: "We need peace in Ukraine to make peace missions possible. Russia has to stop doing this with the fire." An urgent appeal to the international community not to lose sight of the situation!
