US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is heading to Brussels for urgent talks with NATO and EU officials to discuss ramping up support for Ukraine before President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20. The Biden administration is determined to surge military aid to Ukraine in its final months, with Blinken stating they aim to push 'every dollar' to Ukraine before the transition. NATO Secretary General emphasized, 'We must do more than just keep Ukraine in the fight,' calling for increased assistance to change the trajectory of the conflict. The meetings aim to ensure Ukraine can continue to fight effectively into 2025, solidifying commitments amid concerns that the incoming Trump administration might reduce support for Ukraine in its war against Russia.
