The money would assist Ukraine as it resists a Russian invasion, support other eastern European nations dealing with the impact and bolster the Pentagon.
Ukrainian soldiers take positions in downtown Kyiv, Ukraine, Friday, Feb. 25, 2022. Russia pressed its invasion of Ukraine to the outskirts of the capital Friday after unleashing airstrikes on cities and military bases. WASHINGTON — The White House on Friday told Congress that it will need an estimated $6.4 billion in new funding to assist, to support other eastern European nations dealing with the impact and to bolster the Pentagon.
The funds are in addition to the $650 million in security aid and $52 million in humanitarian aid the U.S. already committed to Ukraine over the last year as well as a previous $1 billion sovereign loan guarantee. The request for additional money is likely to get bipartisan support as Democrats and Republicans rush forward with pledges to assist Ukraine.
“My colleagues and I are carefully monitoring the situation and stand ready to provide assistance both to our Ukrainian partners and to our allies in Central and Eastern Europe as they confront this crisis,” House Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Rosa DeLauro said Thursday in a statement.
