The United States will send an additional $1.3 billion in military and economic aid to Ukraine as it fights off the Russian invasion, President Joe Biden announced on April 21. He said he would request more money from Congress to continue financial assistance to the beleaguered country.
The renewed support from U.S. taxpayers comes as Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed victory in the battle for the Ukrainian city of Mariupol, which Ukrainian officials have rejected, and Biden says it’s “questionable” that Russian forces control the southern city.
