President Joe Biden will announce on Wednesday that the US is delivering a new round of military assistance to Ukraine, according to a person familiar with the decision.
Biden is expected to detail the assistance during a speech on the situation in Ukraine. Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky is also scheduled to deliver video remarks to Congress Wednesday morning.
While officials are anticipating that Zelensky could once again call on the US and West to send Ukraine fighter jets or help establish a “no-fly” zone, the Biden administration is looking to send Ukraine “more of what’s been working well,” including anti-armor and air defense weapons, according to the person familiar with the decision.
The individual was not authorized to comment and spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Since taking office, Biden has committed $1.2 billion in security assistance to Ukraine, including $550 million in just the last two weeks, according to the White House.

This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
