White House officials said $150 million of that aid will be withheld until Ukraine conducts the reforms that Biden is asking for.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, President Trump was impeached and ultimately acquitted over a debunked allegation of withholding aid from Ukraine. Meanwhile, some believe Russia\u2019s military is planning a new incursion into Ukraine, which has been left defenseless by Biden.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe U.S. is attempting to push Ukraine into war\u2026such a war needs to be limited in scale because the U.S. tends to always minimize its risks,\u201d stated Aleksey Podberezkin, director of the Center for Military and Political Studies at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations. \u201cThey would not engage in it directly, but this is one of their methods to bring collapse to a country and ultimately make leadership of the country give up its sovereignty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>President Trump gave Ukraine $415 million in 2019, which included lethal weapons that arguably deterred Russian forces from waging war at the time.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Defense Ministry reps from the U.S. Canada, Lithuania, Poland, and UK met virtually yesterday.
