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.
