Summary

The U.S. announced $5.9 billion in additional aid to Ukraine, including $2.5 billion in military support and $3.4 billion in budget assistance, as President Biden finalizes his term.

This brings total U.S. military aid since 2022 to $61.4 billion and budget aid to over $30 billion, supporting Ukraine’s government and military amid intensifying Russian attacks.

Biden emphasized the importance of continued support, though uncertainty looms under Trump, who has questioned U.S. involvement.

Treasury Secretary Yellen warned against cutting aid, calling Ukraine’s success vital to U.S. interests.

    It’s a proxy war so the US military industrial complex and politicians can make more money. It’s unfortunate two countries are fighting but it’s not the problem of the US people. Also you can’t fix other’s problems if you (the USA) have too many problems of your own that need attending to first. I would not compare this to WWII, and hopefully it doesn’t turn into a nuclear WWIII because of the US antagonizations.
