"Biden Urges Congress to Boost Military Support for Ukraine"

President Biden convened his military and national security leaders for a briefing on the war in Ukraine following a deadly Russian airstrike that killed over 50 civilians. The U.S. is running out of military aid for Ukraine, prompting Biden to ask Congress for additional funding. The White House plans to give a speech in the coming weeks to emphasize the urgency of supporting Ukraine. However, the political chaos in the U.S. House of Representatives and differing views among Republicans on aid for Ukraine complicate the situation. The U.S. strategy moving forward remains uncertain, with options including providing new weapons systems or smaller-scale support, but a negotiated settlement is not currently being considered.
