Biden increases support for Ukraine: Almost $ 1 billion!

In the last days of his presidency, Biden puts everything on one card to support Ukraine in the fight against Russian aggression.

A huge military aid package worth almost $ 1 billion - that is the latest weapon in the Arsenal of the United States to assist Ukraine war! Defense Minister Lloyd Austin unveiled the details of this impressive package on Saturday, while Ukraine continues to fight the continued invasion of Russia.

With a clear view of the upcoming changes in Washington, Austin said: "The staff will soon be handed over." He urges the upcoming government to continue the achievements of the past four years. An urgent appeal to the new administration that will come to power on January 20 under Donald Trump!

a huge package for Ukraine

The new auxiliary package, which follows the 725 million dollars on December 2, includes drones and ammunition for the state-of-the-art Himars rockets that the United States had previously delivered. Overall, the US government has provided incredible $ 62 billion in military aid for Ukraine since the start of the large-scale invasion in February 2022!

But the clock ticks! Biden faces the challenge of maximizing his support for Ukraine in the last days of his term. Under Trump remains uncertain whether the United States will continue to be behind Ukraine. Trump has already indicated that he could go back the financing for Ukraine and other military alliances like NATO.

A look into the future

In a speech before national security officers in the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in California, Austin expressed his concerns about the uncertain future. "This government made your choice. This also did a cross -party coalition in the congress. The next government has to make its own choice," he said, adding that Reagan "had stood on the side of Ukraine, American security and human freedom."

The bid administration has largely used the "presidential withdrawal authority" to deduct excess defense materials from the US camps and transfer them to Ukraine without obtaining the consent of the congress. But the current $ 988 million package comes from the remaining $ 2.21 billion of Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USA), which is intended for the purchase of weapons and military supplies.

In the meantime, Trump met in Paris with his Ukrainian counterpart Wolodymyr Selenskyj on Saturday to celebrate the reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral. Trump, who described Selenskyj as the "largest seller in the world" during his election campaign, criticized Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in order to get the United States into Ukrainian affairs. "I will end the war in Ukraine and end the chaos in the Middle East," he promised.

The tension increases! The next steps of the United States in Ukraine are on the brink, while the world is eagerly awaiting the decisions of the new government.
