Biden budget proposal seeks $6.9 billion to aid Ukraine against Russia, bolster NATO

WASHINGTON — The United States would spend $6.9 billion to help Ukraine fend off Russia’s invasion and support NATO member countries under a budget proposal that President Joe Biden’s administration releases today.

The funds would represent Washington’s latest allocation of defense aid after Russia’s shock invasion of its neighbor last month, and would be used to “enhance the capabilities and readiness of US forces, NATO allies, and regional partners in the face of Russian aggression,” the White House says.
