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.
Ukraine, as a sovereign nation, has the right to associate with whomever they want. Russia being mad that a country formerly in their sphere has turned westward as a direct result of being consistently abused by Russia is not a fault of the United States.
The CIA worming its way into a country isn’t that country merely deciding to set their alliance in their favor.
I see what you are saying but it’s not unusual for powerful countries to not allow smaller countries around them to align with foreign powers. For example America has the Monroe Doctrine. Any country in North or South America tries to align with a European or Asian power America goes to war.
The Monroe doctrine is 200 years old. Anyone using it for an excuse to interfere in another nation’s foreign affairs is a clown.
