If U.S. military aid is reduced or altered under a Trump administration, Ukraine may face significant challenges in its defense against Russia, potentially leading to a shift in the balance of power in the region.
Increased military support from the Biden administration may bolster Ukraine's defenses in the short term, but long-term stability will depend on diplomatic resolutions and negotiations.
The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has prompted U.S. lawmakers to request a comprehensive assessment from intelligence agencies regarding the implications of potential reductions in military aid to Ukraine. As tensions rise, the Biden administration is ramping up arms deliveries to Ukraine, with a significant aid package expected to be announced soon. This comes amid contrasting views from President-elect Donald Trump, who has criticized U.S. support for strikes inside Russia and expressed intentions to negotiate a resolution to the conflict.
