"White House Urges Congress to Act as Ukraine Aid Nears Depletion"

The Biden administration has notified Congress that it will authorize a $1 billion tranche of military aid to Ukraine at the end of the month, but it will be the last package unless lawmakers pass additional funds. The Pentagon has exhausted its funding for security assistance to Ukraine and is urging Congress to act on the administration's pending supplemental request. Senate Republicans previously blocked a defense foreign aid spending package that included $61 billion in Ukraine security and economic assistance, demanding unrelated U.S. immigration policy changes. Without additional aid, Ukraine will struggle to obtain better air defenses against Russia.
