“We believe that the resources that we have already provided them, and that we still plan to provide until the end of the administration, will provide them (Ukraine – ed.) equipment, materials necessary for the fight until the end of 2025,” he said.
Earlier, American media reported that the administration of US President Joe Biden is working on increasing the supply of weapons to Ukraine in order to have time to hand them over during the last five weeks of his mandate. According to sources, hundreds of thousands of artillery shells, thousands of rockets, hundreds of armored vehicles and other critical equipment can be transferred to Ukraine.
On December 12, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken announced that the White House is allocating another $500 million package of “urgently needed weapons and equipment” to Ukraine. It included ammunition for HIMARS multiple-launch rocket systems, ammunition for repelling drone attacks, and artillery shells of 105 and 155 mm caliber.
Since the beginning of December 2024, this is already the third aid package to Kyiv from the Joe Biden administration. On December 3, the United States allocated $725 million in aid to Ukraine, and on December 7, another $988 million.
Donald Trump’s inauguration will take place on January 20, 2025. Earlier, it was reported that representatives of the Biden administration fear that under Trump’s rule, the supply of weapons to Ukraine will be significantly reduced or stopped in order to push Kyiv into negotiations.
