Summary

As Biden accelerates military aid to Ukraine before Trump’s inauguration, uncertainty looms over U.S. support for Kyiv.

Biden has approved $2 billion more in aid, eased restrictions on longer-range missiles, and advanced a $50 billion loan backed by frozen Russian assets.

Ukraine braces for reduced U.S. support under Trump, who calls for a ceasefire likely favoring Russia.

Moscow, stretched by escalating offensives, faces mounting losses, including setbacks in Syria.

Zelenskyy urges continued Western aid, warning that a premature ceasefire would benefit Putin.
