Biden Uses His Authority to "Increase Arms Deliveries to Ukraine," Fearing Trump May Halt U.S. Aid
World
This decision has sparked internal debates, as some officials are concerned that it could significantly deplete U.S. weapons stockpiles and jeopardize other military needs, The Washington Post reports.
The Biden administration is making last-minute, large-scale efforts to deliver billions of dollars in additional weaponry to Ukraine. These actions are causing internal concerns, with fears that they may reduce U.S. reserves and weaken resources in other critical areas.
Supporters of Ukraine, worried about Russia's battlefield successes and an anticipated drastic shift in U.S. policy once President-elect Donald Trump assumes office on January 20, 2025, are backing this initiative.
Some officials within the U.S. administration argue that regardless of Washington’s efforts, Kyiv's military will be outmatched without a significantly larger number of troops. Despite accelerated arms deliveries, frustration is mounting toward Ukrainian leaders who have rejected U.S. calls to lower the draft age from 25 to 18.
