More of this, like conflict, even war, or more unrest coming for Georgian folks.

The White House’s final Ukraine aid package seeks to replenish US weapons stocks and support Kyiv’s military efforts. Financial aid approval follows Biden’s permission for Ukraine to use long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) to hit targets deep within Russian territory. This came after reports of North Korea deploying approximately 10,000 troops to support Russia’s invasion. In the lattest aid decision, the White House Office of Management and Budget has proposed incorporating the aid package into upcoming government funding legislation to avert a potential shutdown, according to the report.

The proposed aid package breaks down into two key components: $8 billion for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative to fund US company contracts for arming Kyiv, and $16 billion to replenish US weaponry stocks. This request comes nearly nine months after Biden’s initial aid proposal and follows the passage of a $61 billion Ukraine aid package in April. “The threat to Ukraine will remain no matter what exactly happens on the battlefield or at the negotiating table, and the United States should not walk away from its commitment, either to Ukraine or to 50 nations that we have rallied in defense of Ukraine in both Europe and Asia,” National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said.

The already drawn criticism from Republican lawmakers condemned the request on social media, writing, “Joe Biden just gave away 4.7B taxpayer dollars by unilaterally ‘forgiving’ loans to Ukraine. Congress must not give a free gift further to sabotage Trump’s peace negotiations on the way out the door.” Since Sept 2024, Joe Biden has expedited a significant aid package committing approximately $6B in military be4 the transition to incoming Trump administration. Aid includes $4B from US stockpiles & $2B new procurements aimed at enhancing Ukraine’s defense capabilities, particularly in air defense systems and long-range strike munitions. The financial aid approval follows Ukraine to use long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) to hit targets deep within Russian territory. after reports of North Korea deploying  10,000 troops to support Russia’s invasion.
