Blinken addresses possibility of U.S. ending Ukraine aid under Trump

LA Times  

Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken speaks to the media after a bilateral meeting with Panamanian Foreign Minister Javier Martínez Acha at the State Department in Washington on Wednesday. Ukraine is on its way to being able to “stand on its own feet” militarily, Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken said Friday, noting that more than 20 other countries have pledged to maintain their own military and financial aid to the country even if the U.S. withdraws its support under a different president. Concerns among Ukraine and its supporters that the country could lose vital U.S. support have increased as Trump’s campaign surges and Biden’s falters. “I noted the vital bipartisan and bicameral American support for protecting our nation’s freedom and independence,” Zelensky wrote on X, saying he and Trump had agreed “to discuss at a personal meeting what steps can make peace fair and truly lasting.” Trump said on his social media platform that it was “a very good phone call” and that he appreciated Zelensky’s outreach. The former president promised to “bring peace to the world and end the war that has cost so many lives and devastated countless innocent families,” and said “both sides will be able to come together and negotiate a deal that ends the violence and paves a path forward to prosperity.” Blinken said Friday that any new U.S. administration would have to take into account Congress’ strong bipartisan backing for Ukraine to counter Russian President Vladimir Putin’s attempts to expand Moscow’s territory and influence.
