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.
10 years ago Ukraine was already trying to get rid of corrupt Russia linked politicians. Ukraine wanting to join NATO is their own choice, because of Russia. It’s like a bully that bullies because their victim didn’t want to get bullied and tried to get help.
So yes, imperialism. But also very much colonialism. Putler seems to want to bring the Soviet union back.
