US Approves $60 Billion Military Aid Package for Ukraine
President Biden has assured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that a $60 billion military aid package is pending final Congressional approval.
Biden expressed confidence in the measure's passage, according to the BBC.
Zelensky issued an urgent appeal for additional weapons, warning of a potential major crisis in Europe if Ukraine remains without sufficient support.
The US has attributed Ukraine's withdrawal from the battle of Avdiivka to a lack of Congressional support.
This week, the US Senate approved a $95 billion foreign aid package, including $60 billion for Ukraine, following months of political debate. The measure now faces a challenging vote in the House of Representatives, where Republican members are divided.
