The U.S. will send Ukraine the full $6 billion in outstanding military aid before President-elect Donald Trump is inaugurated on Jan. 20, Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh said at a briefing on Nov. 7.

Previously, Politico reported that U.S. President Joe Biden was rushing to deliver the remaining $6 billion by the end of his term out of fear that a Trump administration might halt weapons shipments to Ukraine.

Ukraine will receive $4 billion under the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA), which pulls weapons from U.S. stocks, and $2 billion from the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI), Singh told reporters.

    This will likely be the last shipment of aid provided.

    Out of everything, this is one of the harder things for me to take. The US voted for this shithead, but the Ukrainian people are the ones who will suffer because of him. Because of us.

      We’ll have to rely on Europe to get it’s shit together. It doesn’t look good though.

        Are you also relying on Europe to get its shit together when it comes to climate change? I think you still don’t understand how fucked the world is because US citizens did not get their shit together and voted for Trump.

      From what little I have read, it seems like broader Europe is working towards that and other things without the US, but some countries have their own right wing issues.
