Exciting News for Ukraine
President Biden recently shared promising news with President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine. The two leaders celebrated a congressional breakthrough that will result in the first significant new U.S. military aid for Ukraine in 16 months.
Commitment Reinforced
During a 30-minute phone call, President Biden reaffirmed the United States’ enduring commitment to supporting Ukraine against Russian invaders. He assured President Zelensky that the arms will be expedited to Ukraine promptly, following the recent developments.
Global Impact and Support
The passage of a groundbreaking $95 billion foreign aid package by the House provides President Biden with crucial momentum, strengthening his credibility and American leadership on the world stage. The aid package includes planeloads of artillery rounds, air defense missiles, and other munitions to support Ukraine.
Senator Chris Van Hollen described the aid package as a historic win for President Biden and emphasized the significance of delivering support to Ukraine in its time of need. The aid not only counters international concerns about the United States but also presents an opportunity for the U.S. to urge its allies to take on a more active leadership role.
Michael Allen, a former national security aide, highlighted the importance of leveraging this aid to encourage European allies to provide more assistance to Ukraine and NATO, thereby strengthening global security efforts.
