The Biden administration announced Wednesday $250 million in weapons and equipment for Ukraine, its final package for the year, as officials press Congress to renew aid in the new year.
“Our assistance has been critical to supporting our Ukrainian partners as they defend their country and their freedom against Russia’s aggression,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement. “It is imperative that Congress act swiftly, as soon as possible, to advance our national security interests by helping Ukraine defend itself and secure its future.”
