Biden to urge Trump to maintain US support for Ukraine amid escalating conflict

U.S. President Joe Biden is set to meet with President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday to discuss continued support for Ukraine. Biden aims to persuade Trump that withdrawing support could lead to greater instability in Europe. Ukraine has launched its largest drone strike on Moscow, while Russia responded with a record 145 drone attacks on Ukraine. This escalation marks significant developments in the ongoing conflict, with both sides intensifying their military actions. Ukrainian officials express cautious optimism about Trump's presidency, hoping it won't lead to a forced peace. Meanwhile, the UK government reaffirms its commitment to Ukraine, pledging £3 billion annually despite financial challenges.
