President Biden is asking Congress to authorize more than $30 billion in security, economic and humanitarian assistance for Ukraine to help the country fend off the prolonged Russian attack over the next five months, administration officials said Thursday.
The White House says it needs Congress to approve just over $20 billion in security assistance for Ukraine, including $5 billion for weapons and other military aid, $6 billion for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, and $4 billion for the State Department’s foreign military financing program, an administration official told reporters on a call previewing the request.
