President of the United States Joe Biden is trying to rush the last part of the aid package promised to Ukraine before the change of power. The amount of the aid package is more than 6 billion dollars.

The online magazine Politico writes about the topic.

The next president of the United States is rising Donald Trump.

Trump has criticized the amount of military support given to Ukraine by the USA and threatened to bring about peace in 24 hours. There is no information about the conditions or a more detailed plan. Russia occupies about a fifth of the territory of Ukraine.

According to Verkkolehti’s White House sources, the only possible plan is to continue sending aid to Ukraine. However, the challenge is time. It usually takes months for arms and equipment to be sent after the aid is announced, so it is unlikely that the aid packages announced in the coming weeks will arrive in Ukraine before Trump takes office.

If he wants, Trump can also order shipments already on their way back.

The United States can only ship products and equipment that are already in stock. Although the allocated money will replace the equipment sent by the Pentagon, everything depends on how quickly new ammunition and weapons can be produced or ordered to replace them.

Pentagon spokesman Lt. Col Charlie Dietzin according to the Pentagon will continue to deliver approved aid to Ukraine.

– We expect to receive the necessary additional help in the coming weeks, Dietz said.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi was one of the first world leaders to call Trump to congratulate him on his victory. He said he was looking forward to “an era of strong America under the decisive leadership of President Donald Trump.”

– I appreciate President Trump’s commitment to the “peace through strength” approach in international relations. It is through this principle that we get closer to a just peace in Ukraine, Zelenskyi wrote in X.
