President Biden asks Trump to continue aid to Ukraine

According to RIA Novosti, White House national security assistant Jake Sullivan told CBS News that US President Joe Biden will personally ask candidate-elect Donald Trump to continue providing aid to Ukraine during his next term.

“The president will have an opportunity to explain to Mr. Trump how he views the situation, their perspectives, and discuss how he intends to address these issues when he takes office,” Mr. Sullivan said.

According to the White House national security aide, in the next 70 days, President Biden will have the opportunity to demonstrate to Congress and the new administration that the US should not abandon Ukraine, because "this will lead to greater instability in Europe".

Assistant Sullivan clarified that the meeting between incumbent President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump will take place on November 13.

Former President Donald Trump, who won the 2024 US presidential election, has repeatedly criticized the current US government's approach to the situation in Ukraine, calling Ukrainian President Zelensky a "master trader" because each of Zelensky's visits to the US ended with billions of dollars in aid from Washington.

The future head of the White House also claimed that he would be able to resolve the Ukraine crisis through negotiations in just 24 hours.

Earlier, the Wall Street Journal quoted sources as saying that Donald Trump's team had proposed a plan that involved freezing the conflict, creating a demilitarized zone along the front line and continuing to provide weapons in exchange for Ukraine's promise not to join NATO for at least 20 years.

The Kremlin said the proposal was abstract.
