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.

      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.

        And sadly when EU was formed this crazy shit was just outside of even imagination. Now a couple of stupids can really hinder it, if not block completely…

          I was hoping that if somehow, somehow Orbán was gotten rid of in my country, the EU would be free of this plague. Now not even that would solve it.
