The Biden-Harris administration is planning to expedite the remaining $6 billion in security assistance to Ukraine before President-elect Donald Trump takes office on January 20, 2025, according to Politico reports. This move aims to ensure continued support for Ukraine amidst concerns that the incoming administration may halt U.S. military aid. The plan includes $4.3 billion from current stockpiles and $2.1 billion for new defense contracts. Officials indicate that this is the only option available to continue sending taxpayer-funded equipment to Ukraine before the inauguration.
