Biden unlikely to deliver full planned multibillion-dollar aid to Ukraine before Trump inauguration: Report

The US administration may not be able to deliver the promised multibillion-dollar aid to Ukraine before President Joe Biden's term ends, The Wall Street Journal has reported.

The administration still has $6.5 billion to transfer to Ukraine, but time is running out to use the allocated resources.

The Pentagon has reached its monthly limit on weapons shipments and is facing logistical challenges in delivering arms to Ukraine.

To exhaust the remaining funds, the U.S. would need to supply Ukraine with approximately $110 million in weaponry daily, amounting to nearly $3 billion in December and January.

“It’s impossible,” a congressional source told the WSJ.

A Pentagon source stated that the current plan now is to send $500-750 million worth of weapons from U.S. stockpiles to Ukraine each month. These shipments will mainly consist of artillery and ammunition, as they are easier to transport, while larger equipment could take months to arrive.

The remaining decisions on aid will likely fall to the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump.

Trump’s support for Ukraine hangs in the air as analysts and politicians try to gauge his plans to bring peace to Ukraine, as he promised to end the war within “24 hours” after reelection without revealing details.

There are concerns that Trump’s victory might lead to the U.S. withdrawing its military support for Ukraine, leaving it up to European allies to help Kyiv resist Russia’s war.
