Biden administration plans new aid package for Ukraine as conflict escalates
The Biden administration plans to send more aid to Ukraine to support its defense against Russia's invasion next year. Secretary of State Antony Blinken emphasized the commitment to provide resources before the new administration takes office on January 20. 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, which affected multiple regions. Political uncertainty surrounds future U.S. support for Ukraine, as president-elect Donald Trump has indicated a potential shift in policy. Meanwhile, North Korean troops are actively assisting Russian forces in the conflict, particularly in the Kursk region.
