‘Another giant FU’: Blinken flatly states where every available dollar will go before Trump takes office

As President Joe Biden’s administration draws to a close, one of his top priorities appears to be slipping as much money as possible to Ukraine.

President-elect Donald Trump has promised to end the war between Russia and Ukraine, which has prompted panic from the current leadership. Secretary of State Antony Blinken revealed that the current president is shoving “every dollar” he can out the door to Ukraine during his farewell trip to NATO headquarters in Belgium.

The aid rush anticipates a potential cut or even elimination in funding after Trump takes over in January 2025.

“The purpose of this visit is to focus our efforts on ensuring that Ukraine has the money, the munitions, and the mobilized forces to fight effectively in 2025 or to be able to negotiate a peace from a position of strength,” he explained to reporters. “We’ve obligated just recently and pushed out the door another $8 billion in security assistance for Ukraine – that was in September, another almost half a billion dollars just a few weeks ago, and President Biden has committed to making sure that every dollar we have at our disposal will be pushed out the door between now and January 20th.”

“We’re making sure that Ukraine has the air defenses it needs, that has the artillery it needs, that has the armored vehicles it needs,” he added.
