The Biden administration reportedly announced on Wednesday that it would provide Ukraine with an additional $275 million in military aid as part of its efforts to increase its support for the country prior to the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump.
The United States will provide Ukraine with ammunition for high-mobility artillery rocket systems, TOW missiles, landmines, small arms and training equipment, and a variety of other ammunition and drones, as announced by Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
“As part of the surge in security assistance that President Biden announced on September 26, the United States is providing another significant package of urgently needed weapons and equipment to our Ukrainian partners as they defend against Russia’s ongoing attacks. We will continue to provide Ukraine the support it needs to succeed on the battlefield and prevail in its defense against Russia’s aggression.” Blinken remarked in a new statement
President Joe Biden granted Ukraine the authority to launch long-range missiles supplied by the United States into Russia earlier this week.
Donald Trump Jr. accused the Biden administration of attempting to initiate a global conflict prior to his father’s inauguration in January.
Republicans responded with a variety of opinions regarding Biden’s decision to implement the policy change at this particular time, with the America First wing of the party being critical of the decision.
Biden’s actions, according to Florida Representative Cory Mills, were intended to undermine Trump’s foreign policy objectives.
“Biden is going to do what Biden’s done the last four years, which is destroy the country, destroy our position on the world stage, try and weaken us in every way when it comes to negotiations, to make it more difficult for President Trump to go ahead and focus on the ‘America First’ agenda,” Mills said.
Trump has pledged to expedite the conclusion of the conflict by engaging in peace negotiations.
The United States has somehow allocated over $183 billion in assistance to Ukraine during Biden’s tenure.
