The United States is expected to send $1.25 billion in military assistance to Ukraine, according to U.S. officials cited by the Associated Press. The Biden administration aims to deliver the aid, which includes National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS), HAWK air defense systems, Stinger missiles, and 155 mm and 105 mm artillery rounds, before President-elect Donald Trump takes office. The move comes after recent Russian missile strikes on Ukraine and is part of a push to provide support amid ongoing tensions with Russia.
