Biden Releases Another $2.5 Billion in Military Aid to Ukraine Ahead of Trump’s Inauguration

HeadlineDec 31, 2024

President Biden on Monday announced another $2.5 billion in U.S. military aid to Ukraine. The package includes air defense missiles; munitions for rocket and artillery systems; anti-tank weapons and more. Separately, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen announced $3.4 billion in economic assistance to Ukraine. Since Russia’s invasion nearly three years ago, Congress has approved $175 billion in total assistance to Ukraine. Biden is rushing aid before President-elect Trump takes office in three weeks; on the campaign trail, Trump expressed skepticism about sending more aid and repeatedly pledged to end the war in his first 24 hours.
