Democrats urge Biden to send military aid to Ukraine.

Members of Congress from both parties have called on President Biden to supply Ukraine with long-range rocket artillery and modern F-16 fighter jets as Russia continues to inflict daily death and destruction through aerial attacks. However, the administration has so far refused, saying that the U.S. can’t spare any ATACMS systems and that jets aren’t a priority. The push for ATACMS is bolstered by the success of HIMARS, a less powerful rocket artillery system that has been credited as a “game-changer” in defending Ukraine. The White House has emphasized that military aid is currently focused on air defense and ammunition supplies, which officials argue are more pressing needs.
