In a final act of support, President Joe Biden has announced a $2.5 billion security assistance package for Ukraine as part of ongoing efforts against Russian aggression. The announcement comes just ahead of Donald Trump’s January 20 inauguration.
Biden expressed pride in the commitment to help Ukraine defend its sovereignty, emphasizing the importance of continued U.S. backing. This follows defense officials’ earlier acknowledgment that it would be difficult to deliver the full $5.6 billion in aid before Trump’s take-over.
The new package includes essential military equipment and resources to strengthen Ukraine’s defenses. As Biden prepares to leave office, this move serves as a testament to his administration’s dedication to Ukraine’s fight for freedom and independence, even as the future of U.S. support remains uncertain under the incoming administration.
