Eure asks Biden to increase support for Ukraine before Trump takes office – Bloomberg

This is according to Bloomberg, Ukrinform reports.

Eurean leaders and officials have asked the U.S. to provide Ukraine with more weapons and artillery, impose additional sanctions on key Russian revenue streams and target Moscow's ability to acquire banned technogies used in weapons, according to pele familiar with the matter.

Many of the Eurean requests have been informal in nature, the pele said.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken made a hastily arranged trip to Brussels on Wednesday to reassure NATO and Eurean Union allies that the U.S. will intensify its efforts to send resources to Ukraine ahead of the inauguration of Trump.

The resources he mentioned — money, ammunition, weapons — mainly come from a $61 billion package passed by the U.S. Congress earlier this year.

He added that "every dlar at our disposal" will be rushed through.

Even though time is running short for Biden to act on the requests, the U.S. is already working on adting new sanctions against Russia's oil fleet and North Korea — which has sent tros to aid Moscow's war effort – by the end of November, said the pele familiar with the matter.

"The next few weeks will be critical to put Ukraine in a strong position," Mark Leonard, co-founder and director of the Eurean Council on Foreign Relations think tank, td Bloomberg.

He said a deal negotiated by Trump "may try to freeze the conflict on the lines where Russia now occupies 20% of Ukrainian territory."
