Biden to announce new military aid 2 hours after Zelensky talks to Congress
US President Joe Biden will deliver remarks on new military aid being sent to Ukraine at 11:45 a.m. Wednesday, the White House says.
The speech will come a little over two hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is slated to address Congress, where is expected to repeat earlier pleas for fighter jets and the creation of a no-fly zone over his country, which has been lacerated by 3 weeks of Russian shelling.
Attending Biden’s speech will be Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, among other senior administration officials.
Biden is expected to announce $800 million worth of arms to be shipped to Ukraine, including antitank missiles, according to reports citing US officials.
