US Unveils $1 Billion Ukraine Aid Amid Trump-Zelenskyy Meeting

The Biden administration has announced a nearly $1 billion aid package for Ukraine, bringing the total U.S. commitment to over $62 billion since Russia's invasion in 2022. This package, part of the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, will fund contracts for new military systems rather than drawing from existing U.S. stockpiles. As the Trump administration prepares to take office, there is uncertainty about the future of U.S. aid to Ukraine, with foreign leaders urging Trump to continue support. Meanwhile, Trump's defense secretary nominee, Pete Hegseth, faces scrutiny over personal conduct allegations.
