U.S. keeps funds for Ukraine flowing despite congressional constraints

The Hindu  

The White House has been increasingly pressuring Congress to pass stalled legislation to support Ukraine’s war against Russia, saying that funding has run out. The time to help a democratic Ukraine fight against Russian aggression is right now.” Since then, the U.S. has announced three more aid packages totaling $475 million. The U.S. has already sent Ukraine $111 billion in weapons, equipment, humanitarian assistance and other aid since Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his invasion more than 21 months ago. President Biden is urging Congress to pass a $110 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel and other national security needs. Prospects for compromise remain in doubt, even as Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned in a speech at the National Defense University in Washington on Monday that, “If there’s anyone inspired by unresolved issues on Capitol Hill, it’s just Putin and his sick clique.” Harkening back to the “all politics is local” idea, the Pentagon and the White House have rolled out maps and statistics to show members of Congress how their own districts and states are reaping benefits from the Ukraine funding.
