Biden administration plans aid for Ukraine's defense against Russia in 2025
The Biden Administration plans to send significant aid to Ukraine to support its defense against Russia's invasion in 2025. Secretary of State Antony Blinken emphasized the commitment to provide resources before the transition to the incoming Trump administration. Russia launched a major air assault on Ukraine, targeting multiple regions with missiles and drones. Ukrainian air defenses intercepted many of the attacks, but damage assessments are ongoing. North Korean troops are reportedly engaged in combat alongside Russian forces in the Kursk region. The Pentagon noted challenges in military cooperation between Russia and North Korea, including training and communication issues.
