The Brief:

• President Biden is committed to supporting Ukraine, pushing Congress for more aid and seeking a ceasefire to strengthen Ukraine in military and negotiation contexts.
• Concerns arise with President-elect Trump’s upcoming inauguration, as his potential policy shift could impact U.S. support for Ukraine; Biden plans to secure additional aid within his last 70 days.
• The U.S.’s ongoing support for Ukraine is pivotal for reassuring international alliances, particularly in Asia, and demonstrating dedication to global partnerships against threats.

In a recent statement, Jake Sullivan, the White House national security adviser, emphasized that President Biden is dedicated to continuing support for Ukraine amidst its conflict with Russia.

This commitment includes pushing Congress for further aid and striving for a ceasefire. According to Sullivan, during his appearance on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” the strategy aims to strengthen Ukraine’s position both militarily and in potential negotiations.

Margaret Brennan of CBS inquired about the remaining $6 billion in approved U.S. funding for Ukraine, to which Sullivan confirmed President Biden’s assurance to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that these funds would be utilized fully and promptly. With the upcoming inauguration of President-elect Trump, there’s an urgency to deliver this aid to Ukraine before a potential shift in policy direction.

Amid concerns over what a second term under Trump might entail for Ukraine—given his claims of ending the war swiftly through his rapport with Putin and prioritizing an America-first policy—Sullivan highlighted Biden’s plans to secure additional support from Congress within his final 70 days in office. The aim is to prevent any withdrawal of U.S. support from Ukraine, which could lead to increased instability in Europe.

Moreover, Sullivan raised alarms about broader implications for international alliances, particularly with Asian allies, if U.S. support wanes. The ongoing commitment by the United States towards Ukraine could serve as a reassurance of its steadfast dedication to global partnerships against threats and instabilities.
