Biden Accelerates $725M Arms Package to Ukraine Amid Aid Concerns
The U.S. is set to provide Ukraine with an additional $725 million in military aid, including counter-drone systems and munitions for the HIMARS, potentially indicating the inclusion of longer-range missiles. This aid package, announced by the State Department, also features anti-personnel land mines to counter Russian and North Korean forces. President Biden aims to utilize all military assistance funds approved by Congress for Ukraine before his term ends, amid speculation about the incoming Trump administration's impact on the conflict. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy suggested that NATO membership for Kyiv-controlled territories could end the war's "hot stage."
