Biden administration confirms continued military aid surge to Ukraine before Trump takes office

theguardian.com — November 8, 2024, 02:01 AM UTC

The Biden administration has confirmed it will continue to increase military aid to Ukraine before Donald Trump takes office in January. This includes efforts to expedite nearly $9 billion in military assistance that has been agreed upon but not yet delivered.

At a European leaders' meeting in Budapest, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejected any concessions to Russia, emphasizing the need for more weapons rather than negotiations. He criticized calls for a ceasefire as dangerous and insisted that Ukraine would not cede territory.

Meanwhile, Russia reported capturing a small village in Donetsk, and Ukrainian officials are preparing for evacuations in the region. A recent drone attack in Kyiv and a strike on a hospital in Zaporizhzhia resulted in multiple casualties.
