Summary

The Biden administration has pledged a major surge in military aid to Ukraine, including hundreds of thousands of artillery rounds, rockets, and armored vehicles by mid-January, as well as troop training outside Ukraine.

This package, combined with nearly $20 billion in loans backed by immobilized Russian assets and new sanctions on Russia, aims to bolster Ukraine’s position in the war and future negotiations.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials are engaging with Trump’s transition team as his administration signals potential policy shifts, including ending Ukraine’s NATO bid and possible territorial concessions.
