On November 28, Reuters, citing two sources, reported that the administration of US President Joe Biden is preparing an arms package worth $725 million for Ukraine.

According to the interlocutor of the agency, the Biden administration plans to provide Kiev with various anti-tank weapons from the US stockpile to deter the advance of Russian forces, including anti-personnel mines, drones, Stinger missiles and ammunition for HIMARS missile systems. According to Reuters, the package will also include cluster munitions.

After the election of Donald Trump as president, the Biden administration wants to be in time to transfer the approved military aid to Ukraine in order to strengthen Kyiv's position in possible negotiations with Russia. White House officials fear that the new administration will cut supplies in an effort to push Ukraine into negotiations.

As part of this strategy, Biden allowed Kiev to launch long-range ATACMS missile strikes on Russian territory, authorized the transfer of anti-personnel mines, wrote off half of a $4,65 billion loan, and imposed sanctions on Gazprombank, which Washington says Russia uses to procure military equipment for warfare.
