There are still about two months left in the tenure of US President Joe Biden. In such a situation, before Republican leader Donald Trump assumes the presidency, Democratic leaders are preparing to provide decisive help to Ukraine, which is embroiled in war with Russia. If reports are to be believed, Biden has also made preparations to send help to Ukraine through a package of $725 million.
Two US government officials confirmed this and said that under the official plan, Biden wants to fill Ukraine with weapons through this package. He wants to provide Ukraine with anti-tank weapons from the US stockpile, as well as landmines, drones, Stinger missiles and High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) ammunition.
According to reports, the US also aims to provide Ukraine with cluster munitions for the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS). It has been told that the official notification of this arms package for Ukraine can be sent to the Parliament only by Monday. The content and shape of this package may also change in the coming days and it is certain to be signed by Biden.
It is noteworthy that America has not given technology related to landmines to any country for the last several decades. Their use has also been controversial to a great extent, because it causes harm to common citizens on a large scale. About 160 countries have signed treaties against their use. But Ukraine had demanded them from America after the attack by the Russian army, so that Russian troops could be stopped on the border.
Biden is helping Ukraine by using special powers
Joe Biden is using the special powers given to the President to help Ukraine against Russia. It is also called Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA), under which America can send help from its existing weapons stock to help fellow countries in case of emergency. The surprising thing is that while earlier the President used this power to announce assistance ranging from 125 million to 250 million dollars, now while Biden is in office alone, he used this power to send help of 4 to 5 billion dollars to the Parliament.
