US Approves New Ukraine Aid Despite Congress Impasse

The United States on Monday approved another $100 million in military aid to Ukraine as Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin visited, despite an impasse in Congress in approving wider funding.

"I announced today another $100 million drawdown using presidential drawdown authority to provide additional artillery munitions, additional interceptors for air defense and a number of anti-tank weapons as well," Austin told reporters in Kyiv.

"So you know, our support continues," said Austin, who promised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky of US support for the "long haul."

 In recent developments, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has signaled a firm stance against Mexican drug cartels, indicating that military action remains a viable option. During a January 31 call with top Mexican military officials, Hegseth expressed concerns over the flow of fentanyl and illegal immigration into the United States, warning that the U.S. might take unilateral action if Mexico doesn't address collusion between its government and drug cartels.

A recent meeting at the White House between President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy devolved into a heated confrontation, significantly impacting U.S.-Ukraine relations. The discussion, originally intended to finalize a minerals deal granting the U.S. access to Ukraine's rare earth elements, shifted focus when President Zelenskyy pressed for explicit U.S. security guarantees to protect Ukraine from further Russian aggression. ​ President Trump perceived Zelenskyy's demands as a lack of gratitude for the extensive support the U.S. has provided to Ukraine. He admonished Zelenskyy, stating, "You're gambling with the lives of millions of people. You're gambling with World War III, and what you're doing is very disrespectful to the country, this country that's backed you far more than a lot of people say they should have."
