U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has assured allies that the United States will continue its military assistance to Ukraine following his inauguration in January, the Financial Times reported on Dec. 20.
Three sources familiar with the negotiations with Western officials said that Trump plans to continue U.S. military supplies to Ukraine after taking office.
The publication notes that this move would reassure U.S. allies, who have recently been concerned about having to support Ukraine without Washington’s backing.
On Dec. 16, former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba stated that Trump would seek to negotiate peace in Ukraine and might reconsider halting military aid.
Previously, it was reported that the Pentagon would send more than 500 interceptor missiles to Ukraine for the Patriot and NASAMS air defense systems, expected to arrive in the coming weeks. This decision was made in response to increased Russian drone attacks on Ukraine and an effort to better arm Kyiv before President Joe Biden’s term ends in January. Additional weaponry, sources say, would also strengthen Ukraine’s position in any potential negotiations with Russia.
