Biden plans $9 billion military aid boost to Ukraine before leaving office
The Biden administration plans to expedite nearly $9 billion in military aid to Ukraine before the president leaves office in January. This includes $4.3 billion in weapons transfer authority and additional funding for new weapons purchases.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy congratulated Donald Trump on his election win, expressing hope for continued cooperation. However, there are concerns in Kyiv about potential cuts to U.S. military assistance under a Republican administration.
On the battlefield, Russia claims to have captured two villages in eastern Ukraine, while Ukraine's military reported repelling attacks in those areas. The situation remains tense as fighting continues along the frontlines.
