Biden administration plans additional aid for Ukraine as conflict escalates
The Biden administration plans to send more aid to Ukraine to support its defense against Russia. Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that the U.S. will provide resources until January 20, when a new administration takes office. Russia has intensified its attacks, targeting Kyiv with missiles and drones for the first time in over two months. The Ukrainian air force reported downing several missiles and drones during the assault. Political uncertainty surrounds future U.S. support, as president-elect Donald Trump has indicated he may reduce aid to Ukraine. Meanwhile, North Korean troops are actively assisting Russian forces in the conflict.
