The Biden administration unveils a $500M aid package for Ukraine.
The Biden administration has provided billions in military aid to Ukraine.
The Biden administration unveiled a $500 million military aid package for Ukraine on Thursday, just before President-elect Trump assumes office.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced that the United States is providing another significant package of urgently needed weapons and equipment to our Ukrainian partners as they defend against Russia's ongoing attacks.
On Thursday, the package was announced which contains drones, HIMARS artillery and ammunition, armored vehicles, nuclear, chemical and radiological protective equipment, and other equipment.
Earlier this week, Biden announced a $988 million military aid package for Ukraine, and now a new round of aid has been announced.
Whether Trump will continue to provide billions in aid to Ukraine remains uncertain following his election victory.
The former president and Vice President-elect JD Vance criticized the Biden administration's support for Ukraine, with the former president stating on the campaign trail that he would end the war before even taking office.
This year, Vance gained notoriety for his suggestion that Ukraine should surrender the land Russia has taken and establish a demilitarized zone, which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy firmly rejected.
Last weekend in Paris, Trump met with Zelenskyy to discuss the ongoing conflict.
