In view of Donald Trump's plan to end the Russia-Ukraine war, both countries are trying to gain maximum advantage. While Russia is trying to drive out the Ukrainian army from the Kursk region, Ukraine is trying to stop the Russian army from advancing into its territory and push it back from the occupied areas.

Biden is going to make arrangements for Ukraine

Meanwhile, before leaving, Joe Biden is going to make arrangements so that Ukraine does not face any problems in the war next year. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that Biden is committed to helping Ukraine, so he wants to ensure that Ukraine can fight off Russia's aggression next year. For this, as much aid as possible is being sent, so that Ukraine is able to keep Russian forces away and hold strong in a possible attack.

He said Biden wants every dollar of aid to be given to Ukraine to be given to it between now and January 20. Blinken said during a visit to Brussels that NATO countries should focus their efforts on ensuring that Ukraine has the money, war material and organized army to fight effectively in 2025 and be able to hold peace talks in a better position if needed.

Blinken said without giving details that the US would adapt and adjust to the latest equipment it is sending. Meanwhile, Russia on Wednesday attacked the Ukrainian capital Kyiv with missiles and drones for the first time in 73 days. A day earlier, the Pentagon said that most of the North Korean troops sent to help Moscow's war effort were fighting in the Kursk border region to drive Ukrainian forces off Russian soil.

Russia's attacks continue

Ukraine is also under pressure to stop a month-long Russian offensive in eastern Donetsk. Russia targeted eight regions of Ukraine on Wednesday. During this, six ballistic and cruise missiles and 90 drones were fired. Air defense systems shot down four missiles and 37 drones. The other 47 drones were intercepted by electronic jamming.
