Europe asks Biden to increase aid to Ukraine before Trump's arrival

Europe is making a final plea to the outgoing Joe Biden administration to increase American support for Ukraine to maximize Kyiv's position before the end of the presidential term in January.

This is reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to Bloomberg.

According to the agency, Donald Trump, who takes office on January 20, said he would seek an early agreement between Kyiv and Moscow, which has raised concerns in Europe that such a deal would be unfavorable to Ukraine and possibly consolidate the gains made by Russia since its invasion in 2022.

European leaders and officials have asked the United States to provide Ukraine with more weapons and artillery, impose additional sanctions on Russia's key sources of revenue, and limit Moscow's ability to acquire banned technologies used in weapons, according to sources familiar with the matter. Many of the European requests have been informal.
