Ukraine has successfully defended its capital, Kyiv. Now Russia has resumed its offensive in the eastern sector of Ukraine. Meanwhile, US officials have warned about the potential for a prolonged conflict.

The purpose of the financial aid is to support Ukraine to deal with the war. The US had previously given 13.6 billion USD to Ukraine.

The new law would provide $20 billion in military aid for advanced weapons used to stifle Russia’s progress. It has $8 billion in general economic aid.

Ukraine will provide $5 billion in aid to address the global food shortage caused by the collapse of agriculture and more than $1 billion to help refugees.

It reflects a sense of urgency to continue US support for Ukraine, but also the massive international challenges Biden currently faces.

Even as he tries to redirect US foreign policy to confront China he continues to direct resources to the biggest conflict in Europe since World War II.
