WASHINGTON (AP) — US President Joe Biden announces that the United States will dispatch another $500 million in direct aid to Ukraine, the latest burst to Kyiv as the Russian invasion grinds on.
The White House in a statement says Biden told Zelenskyy during a 55-minute call on the latest developments in the war that the aid was on its way.
The US Congress earlier this month approved spending up to $13.6 billion in humanitarian and military assistance for Ukraine. The Biden administration had already dispatched $2 billion of that total before today’s announcement.
