President Biden has authorized the continued delivery of weapons to Ukraine following Russian missile attacks on Christmas Day that targeted critical infrastructure.
Outgoing US President Joe Biden has directed the country's Department of Defense to continue delivering weapons to Ukraine. The commitment is part of an ongoing $280.4 billion aid deal for Ukraine and comes after Russia launched missile strikes against Ukraine on Christmas Day. US President-elect Donald Trump will be sworn into office on January 20 and has repeatedly claimed he could end Russia's war with Ukraine 'within 24 hours'.
Incoming US President Joe Biden has directed the country's Department of Defense to continue delivering weapons to Ukraine, on the same day Russia launched a Christmas missile attack on Ukrainian energy infrastructure in multiple cities. The strikes targeted power stations in the north-eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv and the south-eastern Dnipro region killed at least one person and injured six more as the country woke on Christmas Day. In the aftermath of the missile strikes, half a million people in the Kharkiv region were left without heating in temperatures just a few degrees Celsius above zero, while there were blackouts in the capital Kyiv and elsewhere. President Biden condemned the attack on Wednesday as 'outrageous' and said the US will 'continue to work tirelessly to strengthen Ukraine’s position in its defence against Russian forces.' Outgoing US President Joe Biden, pictured here with Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelenskyy in June, has committed to maintaining his country's delivery of military weapons to Ukraine.'The purpose of this outrageous attack was to cut off the Ukrainian people's access to heat and electricity during winter and to jeopardise the safety of its grid,' Mr Biden said.Kharkiv targeted in 'massive' missile attack, Ukraine authorities sayRussian strikes on energy infrastructure across Ukraine killed at least one person and injured 20 more early on Christmas Day, local authorities sai
