President Biden spoke with his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, on Wednesday as Poland cautioned that Biden’s plan to evade a Russian grain blockade by building silos at the Poland-Ukraine border could take three to four months to effect.
Biden told Zelensky he would send a new tranche of $1 billion in military aid to fight Russia’s nearly four-month-old invasion and an additional $225 million for humanitarian aid, according to the White House. Congress last month approved $40 billion to assist Kyiv in the conflict.
A readout of the call made no mention of Biden’s assertion Tuesday that NATO allies would help Ukraine export more than 20 million tons of grain by building storage facilities near western Ukraine.
The plan expounded by Biden would, in theory, bypass a Russian blockade of Ukraine’s Black Sea ports.
