The package that the White House agreed to send to Ukraine on Wednesday was worth $250 million and included anti-aircraft weapons, artillery shells and light ammunition.

Kiel Center for the World Economy, which is an economic think tank in Germany and follows the developments related to the war in Ukraine, said that with this aid package, the total number of US military, financial and humanitarian aid to Ukraine since the beginning of the war has reached 79 billion dollars has reached.

In the 22 months since the war in Ukraine, US President Joe Biden Agreed to send new aid packages to Kyiv. He agreed to send an $800 million aid package to Kiev in March 2022, shortly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky asked Congress for help.

In September 2023, during a meeting with Zelensky in the White House, it should be said that the United States plans to send an aid package of 325 million dollars to Ukraine. However, in the past months, opposition to military aid increased to Ukraine. Newsweek writes that although members of Congress still want to continue supporting Ukraine, they have stopped agreeing to send more weapons. The country is considered to be one of the reasons for increasing opposition to sending more military aid to Ukraine.

Politico reported on Thursday that the Biden administration and Western countries are quietly changing their strategy in Ukraine. have changed and now instead of winning over Russia, they want to end the war through negotiations.

Politico wrote that such a negotiation would probably mean handing over parts of Ukraine to Russia. The White House and the Pentagon have publicly maintained that there has been no formal change in administration policy and that they continue to support Ukraine’s goal of a complete withdrawal of Russian troops from the country. In private circles, however, things are different.

Politico also reported that Biden had previously said that he would support Ukraine “as long as the war lasts.” will continue. He has now changed his mind and believes that the US should continue to support Ukraine “as far as it can”. However, the Biden government cannot support this proposition due to the potential political risks of this issue. John Kirby, head of the strategic communications department at the US National Security Council, said that the Biden administration is nearing the end of its ability to provide aid to Ukraine. There is also the concern from a political point of view that Putin will not announce his readiness to negotiate until the future president of the United States is determined.
