Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that President Joe Biden and his administration are “committed” to sending as much funding as possible to Ukraine in the remaining weeks before President-elect Donald Trump takes office on January 20, 2025.
Blinken, speaking at NATO headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, pointed to a recent “profound and incredibly dangerous development” — the movement of North Korean soldiers to aid in Russia’s war on Ukraine — and argued that it was of the utmost importance for the United States to continue supporting Ukraine’s efforts to repel the Russian troops.
Blinken noted that NATO as a whole needed to deliver a “firm response” before pivoting to tout the United States’ role in that response.

“As we’re working to make sure that Ukraine has what it needs to effectively defend itself, the United States continues to step up. We’ve obligated just recently and pushed out the door another $8 billion in security assistance for Ukraine – that was in September, another almost half a billion dollars just a few weeks ago, and President Biden has committed to making sure that every dollar we have at our disposal will be pushed out the door between now and January 20th,” he said. “We’re making sure that Ukraine has the air defenses it needs, that has the artillery it needs, that has the armored vehicles it needs.”

The urgency with regard to sending aid to Ukraine has been ratcheted up not only with the appearance of North Korean fighters in Russia, but with President-elect Trump’s landslide victory on November 5th, as many currently in power are concerned that Trump would not continue to send aid — particularly in the amounts that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has requested.
Trump has said on a number of occasions that he could put an end to the war in as little as one day — and has also insisted that if he had been president at the time, Russian President Vladimir Putin would not have invaded Ukraine in the first place.
