President Joe Biden has made a last-minute request to Congress for an additional $24 billion in aid to Ukraine, just 55 days before President Trump takes office. This funding is intended to bolster Ukraine's military support and replenish U.S. weaponry stocks that have been depleted in the conflict with Russia. The proposal includes $8 billion for U.S. company contracts to arm Kyiv and $16 billion to refill U.S. weaponry stock. Despite opposition from Senator Mike Lee, who has stated 'no more money to Ukraine,' Biden's administration is pushing forward with this aid package.
