$500 million in aid went to them right before his term ended.

With less than two weeks left in office, the Biden administration is announcing its final shipment of weapons for Ukraine. The administration believes nearly all of this $500 million worth of weapons will arrive before the inauguration of Donald Trump, whose Ukraine envoy today said they will aim to negotiate an end to the war within Trump's first 100 days in office.
