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.

Tbh, it really is a toss of the coin. With Russia solidifying their ties with North Korea and China, it kinda depends on how much of his foreign policy will be to scapegoat the east.

Trump was dependent on Russia for their ability to boost his election, now he doesn't really have to worry about that. Just like with anything else, it depends on what Putin is able to give him vs what he can get by turning on him.
