President Biden announces additional aid to Ukraine | USA Today

President Joe Biden will announce additional military aid for Ukraine today totaling about $800 million, matching a drawdown of the same amount last week as Russia concentrates attacks on the eastern Ukrainian region of Donbas. Biden will announce the aid during remarks on the war from the White House Roosevelt Room, according to a White House official.

The latest infusion of security assistance, which includes more artillery and artillery rounds, brings the total U.S. aid to Ukraine during Biden’s presidency to about $4 billion. That includes $3.4 billion since Russian President Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has repeatedly pushed Western allies, particularly the U.S., to provide more aid amid allegations that Putin directed war crimes and genocide. Pentagon spokesman John Kirby this week said weapons and other equipment have arrived in Ukraine in “unprecedented speed.”
