Pentagon announces $500 million aid package to Ukraine ahead of Trump transition

The Biden administration announced Thursday what could be the last tranche of military aid it will send to Ukraine, valued at about $500 million.

This aid package came less than two weeks before the administration will end and the second Trump administration will begin. As such, the Biden-led Pentagon has sought to provide Kyiv with whatever it could to improve its leverage ahead of peace negotiations that President-elect Donald Trump himself has previewed.
