US President Joe Biden on Monday unveiled a $2.5 billion military aid package for Ukraine, as Washington races to provide assistance before Donald Trump takes office in a matter of weeks.
Trump has repeatedly criticized aid to Ukraine, casting doubt on the future of American support and creating a limited window for billions of dollars in already authorized assistance to be disbursed before his swearing-in next month.
Monday’s aid includes a $1.25 billion military “drawdown package,” which allows the Pentagon to take weapons from US stocks and send them quickly to the battlefield.
