$2.5 BILLION IN AID TO UKRAINE

President Joe Biden, who is preparing to hand over his duties on January 20 in the U.S., announced a new aid package for Ukraine. In a written statement, Biden said, "Today, I am honored to announce approximately $2.5 billion in security assistance for Ukraine as the Ukrainian people continue to defend their independence and freedom against Russian aggression."

"PROVIDING SUPPORT TO UKRAINE IS ONE OF MY TOP PRIORITIES"

Noting that since Russia launched its attacks on Ukraine in February 2022, the U.S. has called on the world to support the Ukrainian people, Biden stated, "Providing the support Ukraine needs to prevail has become one of my top priorities. Today's announcement will strengthen this effort and provide Ukraine with a continued flow of urgent equipment for use on the battlefield, as well as ensure the long-term supply of air defense, artillery, and other critical weapon systems."

Biden stated that all aid committed under his administration's Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) has been allocated, saying, "The U.S. will continue to work tirelessly to strengthen Ukraine in the war under my direction for the remainder of my term."
