The outgoing Biden administration is looking to send another $24 billion to Ukraine to continue to advance the war with Russia. Biden’s funding pitch includes $16 billion to backfill United States stocks depleted by deliveries of weapons to Kiev and $8 billion to pay U.S. arms producers for contracts in support of the Ukrainian military.

While this is being described as a “long shot”, it is showing Russia that the attempts to ignite the third world war are still ongoing.

The report on the funding pitch is based on a document produced by the White House Office of Management and Budget, which was sent to lawmakers on Monday, according to Politico’s sources on Capitol Hill, according to a report by RT. 

The Biden administration had previously vowed to spend every dollar already approved for Ukraine before the president leaves office on January 20th. Last week, he also wrote off some $4.7 billion in forgivable loans given to Kiev. The money was part of a tranche approved by Congress in April, with $9.4 billion provided as a “loan” to appease lawmakers, who opposed continued funding of the Ukraine conflict.

President-elect Donald Trump claimed during the election campaign that he would end the Ukraine conflict in 24 hours if voters grant him a new term in office. Some of his allies have accused the “lame duck” Biden of trying to corner the next administration into a continued conflict with Russia.

Republican Senator Mike Lee reacted negatively to the new funding request from the White House, especially as it came days after Biden’s unilateral move on the loan. ”Congress must not give him a free gift to further sabotage President Trump’s peace negotiations on the way out the door. Any Biden funding demands should be DOA,” he wrote on X.
