Before the end of his term, Biden was reassured that the U.S. would deliver the full amount of military aid to Ukraine.

The current President of the United States, Joseph Biden, and his administration will fulfill their promise to provide Ukraine with the entire planned amount of military aid. By the end of his term in January 2025, all funds allocated by Congress for Ukraine's support in April 2024 will be utilized as intended. This amounts to many billions of dollars.

This was stated by White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre at a briefing on December 6. She emphasized that the government will do everything possible to ensure the allocated aid for Ukraine is utilized in time.

"I don't have numbers or estimates for you on how much funding will remain or not remain over the next 45 days, but we are committed to implementing this funding," the press secretary assured.

Jean-Pierre added that Biden is not particularly concerned about the prospect of aid to Ukraine being halted by newly elected President Donald Trump. The aid package was approved on a bipartisan basis, and support for Ukraine in Congress remains bipartisan as well.

Trump's team quietly prepares a peace proposal while Kyiv establishes contacts in the transition administration

According to a report by Reuters, the team of newly elected President Donald Trump is quietly developing a peace proposal for Ukraine that would effectively move away from NATO membership and potentially concede significant territory to Russia, signaling a sharp shift in current U.S. policy. Trump, for his part, has frequently stated that he would end the war between Ukraine and Russia within 24 hours.

However, this week Ukrainian officials, including Head of the Office of the President Andriy Yermak and Ambassador Oksana Markarova, met with key figures in Trump's transition team, including J.D. Vance, a representative from Florida, and potential National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, as well as Trump's appointed representatives for Russia and Ukraine, Keith Kellogg. This was an effort to secure ongoing support.

These meetings have gained urgency, especially after House Speaker Mike Johnson blocked a vote on additional aid for Ukraine amounting to $24 billion. Despite this, the Pentagon has committed to sending $725 million in military aid this week, the largest supply since April.
