  • The United States is expected to announce that it will send $1.25 billion in military assistance to Ukraine, U.S. officials said Friday, as the Biden administration pushes to get as much aid to Kyiv as possible before leaving office on Jan.

The U.S. has announced a $1.25 billion military aid package for Ukraine, which includes air defense systems, artillery rounds, and other critical munitions, as reported by MSN. This aid is part of an effort to bolster Ukraine's defense capabilities against ongoing Russian aggression. The package is being expedited before President Biden leaves office, reflecting the urgency to support Ukraine amidst its conflict. The aid includes funding for long-term contracts to ensure sustained support, with specific items like NASAMS air defense systems, drones, and various types of artillery ammunition. This move comes at a time when there are concerns about the future of U.S. support for Ukraine, especially with potential changes in U.S. leadership.
