U.S. President Joe Biden's administration is preparing a $725 million weapons package for Ukraine, two U.S. officials said on Wednesday, as the outgoing president seeks to bolster the government in Kyiv before leaving office in January.

The new aid package would include landmines, drones, Stinger missiles, and ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), an official familiar with the plan told Reuters.

As Russian forces advance, the Biden administration is putting together a $725 million arms package for Ukraine that includes drones, cluster bombs, and anti-tank weaponry. The package intends to boost Ukraine before to the inauguration of Republican President-elect Donald Trump and represents a major increase in U.

The Biden administration kept incoming President-elect Donald Trump’s administration closely apprised of its efforts to broker the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hezbollah that is slated to go into effect early Wednesday.

President Joe Biden announced that Israel and Lebanon's Iran-backed militia Hezbollah agreed to a United States-brokered ceasefire. Biden said civilians will be able to safely return to their homes after the conflict killed thousands and displaced over a million.
