U.S. President Donald Trump is considering approving new military funding for Ukraine, CBS News reported, citing multiple diplomatic sources. It would be the first tranche of additional aid to Kyiv since he took office in January. Officials told the network that the White House could tap roughly $3.85 billion in leftover presidential drawdown authority from the Biden administration or seize about $5 billion in frozen Russian assets and redirect the proceeds to Ukraine. The prospective move is intended in part to signal Washington’s displeasure with Russia, which this month launched its largest drone and missile barrage on Ukrainian cities since the invasion began in 2022. The deliberations mark a shift for Trump, who has repeatedly questioned the scale of U.S. spending on Ukraine and briefly paused some arms shipments earlier this week during a broader review of weapons transfers. No final decision or timeline was disclosed.
