**Washington, D.C. – December 26, 2024** – Outgoing U.S. President Joe Biden announced on Christmas Day that he has directed the Department of Defense to maintain the increased flow of weapons to Ukraine following a barrage of Russian attacks. The attacks, launched on Wednesday, targeted Ukrainian cities and energy infrastructure, aiming to disrupt power and heating supplies during the harsh winter months, according to President Biden’s statement. He condemned the attacks as “outrageous.” President-elect Donald Trump is set to assume office on January 20th.
Ukraine reported that Russia used cruise and ballistic missiles, as well as drones, in the assault on its energy grid. Since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion in 2022, the United States has provided over $175 billion in aid to Ukraine.
