U.S. Announces New Military Aid Package for Ukraine Ahead of Trump Administration
On December 7, the U.S. Department of Defense announced a new military aid package of $988 million for Ukraine, which includes drones and missiles for HIMARS systems. This announcement comes as President Joe Biden’s administration aims to accelerate support for Ukraine before Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20. Concerns have arisen about the future of U.S. aid under Trump, who has been critical of the financial support given to Ukraine and has pledged to address the conflict with Russia.
