Summary

The U.S. announced $5.9 billion in additional aid to Ukraine, including $2.5 billion in military support and $3.4 billion in budget assistance, as President Biden finalizes his term.

This brings total U.S. military aid since 2022 to $61.4 billion and budget aid to over $30 billion, supporting Ukraine’s government and military amid intensifying Russian attacks.

Biden emphasized the importance of continued support, though uncertainty looms under Trump, who has questioned U.S. involvement.

Treasury Secretary Yellen warned against cutting aid, calling Ukraine’s success vital to U.S. interests.

      Well good news for Putin I guess, thanks to his stupidity NATO membership increased in size with Sweden and Finland joining and lots of other countries also looking at joining for protection from… Russia

      He could have integrated Russia more deeply into Europe, with the gas pipelines and supply of energy, France/Macron was constantly saying that Russia should be more integrated into the EU… but then he did this and now I doubt in my lifetime we’ll see Russia be anything more than a pariah state
