Under Biden's administration, the US provided $62 billion in military aid to Ukraine.

According to RIA Novosti on December 3, the Pentagon estimates that the total amount of US military aid to Ukraine under the administration of US President Joe Biden has exceeded $62 billion; and since Russia began its special military operation, this figure has reached $61.4 billion.

"The United States has provided more than $62 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since President Biden took office," the Pentagon said in a statement.

Earlier, on December 2nd, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced the allocation of another military aid package to Ukraine totaling $725 million, which also included a range of other anti-personnel mines.

Ukraine ratified the 2005 Ottawa Convention, which prohibits the use, stockpiling, and manufacture of anti-personnel mines. Previously, Mark Hizney, a member of the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR), stated in a report presented at the Landmine Monitor 2023 that Ukraine had violated the Ottawa Convention prohibiting the use of anti-personnel mines in the fighting in the city of Izyum, Kharkiv region.

From Russia's perspective, the country believes that supplying weapons to Ukraine hinders the resolution of the conflict, directly draws NATO countries into the conflict, and warns that it is "playing with fire." Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted that any shipments containing weapons to Ukraine would become legitimate targets for Russia. According to him, the US and NATO are directly involved in the conflict, not only by supplying weapons but also by training personnel for the Ukrainian armed forces in the UK, Germany, Italy, and other countries. The Kremlin stated that pumping weapons from the West to Ukraine does not contribute to negotiations and will have negative consequences.
