Biden asks Congress for $10B in emergency aid for Ukraine
(Worthy News) – President Biden is upping his request for humanitarian and military aid to Ukraine, calling on Congress to approve $10 billion to help bolster the nation in its fight against Russia.
Shalanda Young, acting director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, made the request in a letter to the congressional Democratic leadership on Tuesday. The figure is significantly larger than the $6.4 billion that administration officials initially urged lawmakers to approve just last week.
“These resources will mean additional defense equipment for Ukraine, lifesaving humanitarian assistance — such as emergency food assistance — for the Ukrainian people, stronger sanctions enforcement, a dedicated task force led by the Department of Justice to go after the ill-gotten gains and other illicit activities of the Russian oligarchs, and additional support for U.S troop deployments to neighboring countries,” said Mrs. Young.
