Joe Biden announced a fresh aid package for Ukraine. This happened last Thursday on the occasion of the gathering with Volodymyr Zelenski. He utilized this gathering to announce military support for Ukraine worth over $8 billion.
Aid for $5.5 billion is simply a fast decision before the end of today's fiscal year and means transferring material from the state's stocks. It includes the transportation of precision 130 km glider bombs (Joint Standoff Weapon), further than Russian analogues. The Ukrainians will receive another Patriot launcher and a batch of missiles of this system.
At the same time, however, the media stressed that Biden had not given approval to strike, handed over weapons, deep within Russia, so it seems that the principles of the U.S.'s indirect commitment to war will not change until the end of his word of office, unless there are any extremist changes in the Ukrainian battlefields that could change strategical calculations.

As part of this Biden package, he besides recommended extending the training of Ukrainian personnel to usage F-16 by 18 pilots. Another $2.4 billion will be spent as part of the Ukraine safety Assistance Initiative, this is simply a military equipment acquisition program straight from private companies.
Biden besides announced a conference of the Contact Group on Defence of Ukraine next period at the leadership level, where force on Western partners can be expected to separate support for Ukraine.
Zelenski besides met with Democratic organization candidate and Vice president Kamala Harris. It was already his seventh gathering with Harris this year.
The other is the atmosphere between Zelenski and Trump. During a Wednesday speech in North Carolina to supporters he made harsh criticisms of Volodymyr Zelenski. “We are inactive giving billions of dollars to a man who refuses to make a deal, Zelensk [...] all time he came to our country, he went out with $60 billion," Trump said, one more time describing the Ukrainian president as “probably the biggest salesman on Earth.” “What do you have left now? – Trump asked the president of Ukraine a rhetorical question – the country is completely destroyed".
Former U.S. president felt that Zelenski “could not make a deal that would be better than the situation you have now”. Additionally, these statements were accompanied by a communicative emphasizing Russia's military resilience with the expression that it did not yield to Napoleon or Hitler. “What happens if [Russians] win?” Trump asked in Georgia.
Commenting on Thursday, American media even reported that the gathering of Zelenski and Trump had not been held for a long time as an chance for the first to uncover his "peace plan" to him and Biden and Harris. The media reported that Trump cancelled a gathering with Zelenski dissatisfied with his Sunday interview for The fresh Yorker, in which the Ukrainian president claimed that Trump did not truly know how to halt the war, even if he “thinks he knows how to do it”. erstwhile asked on Thursday by reporters about whether a truce in Ukraine is worth giving up part of Russia's territory Trump replied, "We'll see what happens."
However, frustration did not derail plans. However, on Thursday Trump announced that he would meet Zelenski, but stressed that at his request. The gathering took place, and at the later joint Trump conference alternatively disrespectfully referred to Zelenski.
However, I would not attach besides much importance to Trump's rhetoric. Its primary precedence is election victory, and this will take place under the conditions of political polarization of society. In the electorate of Republicans and independents, discouragement to support Ukraine increases. The rhetoric itself does not prejudge Trump's real policy after taking over power, but at the same time her revised line announces to me that Trump, after a possible victory, will be much little inclined to cooperate with people from the old Republican elite (such as Bolton) than it was during the first term.
