Biden administration plans new aid package for Ukraine defense against Russia
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 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, which affected multiple regions. Political uncertainty surrounds future U.S. support, as president-elect Donald Trump has indicated he may reduce military aid to Ukraine. Meanwhile, North Korean troops are actively assisting Russian forces in the conflict, particularly in the Kursk region.
