US President-elect Trump could abandon Ukraine. Biden, the current incumbent, seems to want to support Kiev all the more strongly.

The USA has announced further war aid for Ukraine. The United States would “continue to provide increased security assistance to Ukraine – including artillery, air defense, armored vehicles, and other necessary capabilities and munitions – at the direction of the President” until the end of the war. And we will announce additional security assistance to Ukraine in the coming days.” said UN Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield to the UN Security Council in New York.

Apparently referring to President-elect Donald Trump, the diplomat said standing up for democracy and human rights will outlast any single leader or term in office. The following applies to Ukraine: “A peace that is not just is not peace, a peace that is not sustainable is not peace, and a peace that is not shaped by Ukraine is not true peace.”
