$10 billion in aid to Ukraine

The Biden administration is calling on lawmakers to approve $10 billion, hoping to address the emerging humanitarian crisis in the country in the face of a worsening Russian onslaught.

“The figure also includes assistance to bolster Ukraine’s defenses, protect its electrical grid from disruption, and further assist other European allies,” the report says.

Initially, the Biden administration petitioned lawmakers to provide roughly $6.4 billion in response to Ukraine, however, Democrats and Republicans called for additional spending.

“The roughly $10 billion requests transmitted to Congress would help train Ukraine’s military, boost its cybersecurity defenses, provide food and other humanitarian aid and fortify its electricity supply,” the report added.
