The United States is expected to announce $1.25 billion in military aid to Ukraine on Monday, according to officials. The package includes munitions for air defense systems, Stinger missiles, and artillery rounds. The new aid package uses presidential drawdown authority, which allows the Pentagon to take weapons off the shelves and quickly ship them. The announcement comes as the Biden administration works to allocate remaining funds before the January 20th transition. Concerns linger about the incoming Trump administration's potential stance on Ukraine aid, given Trump's remarks on negotiating with Russia.
