President Biden on Thursday asked Congress to approve $33 billion in new Ukraine war funding — after running out of $13.6 billion approved last month with broad bipartisan support.
“What I want to make clear to the Congress and the American people is this: the cost of failing to stand up to violent aggression in Europe has always been higher than the cost of standing firm against such attacks,” Biden wrote in a letter to Congress.
The request includes $20.4 billion in military spending, including for continued arms transfers, $8.5 billion in direct financial aid to Ukraine’s government and $3 billion in humanitarian relief after 5 million people fled the country during two months of fighting.
