President Joe Biden promised ongoing U.S. assistance for Ukraine as it fights off a fresh Russian offensive in the country’s east, announcing Thursday he’s sending $1.3 billion in additional weaponry and economic aid and that he’d ask Congress for even more money.
The fresh funds add to $2.4 billion in U.S. aid already authorized for the fiscal year, much of it weaponry. Of the new package, $800 million will go toward arms, including dozens of howitzers and new attack drones.
