Washington, December 4 (RHC)-- The Joe Biden administration said Monday it is sending Ukraine another $725 million in weapons from its stockpiles, including missiles, drones and anti-personnel landmines, amid fears the incoming Trump administration could cut off military support to Kiev. 

The announcement came as German Chancellor Olaf Scholz traveled to Kiev to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, where Scholz vowed to supply some $680 million in new military aid. 

Scholz also issued a threat to Russia’s president.  “My very clear message from Kiev to Putin: We’re in this for the long haul, and we will stand by Ukraine for as long as it takes.”

Over the weekend, President Zelensky indicated for the first time that a ceasefire that includes temporarily giving up land that Russia has seized could be an option if NATO agrees to protect Ukrainian-controlled territories. 

Earlier today, NATO chief Mark Rutte said Vladimir Putin has no interest in ending Russia’s war on Ukraine and will continue “using Ukraine as a testing ground for experimental missiles.”
