Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy made a visit to Washington on Wednesday. He met with President Biden and delivered a speech before a joint session of Congress. There, he made his case for an additional $45 billion in aid. Watch Zelenskyy's speech to Congress.
The US has sent $65 billion in aid to Ukraine since March.
On Wednesday, the Biden administration committed to a $1.85 billion military bill. That package includes a Patriot missile defense system for Ukraine.
Zelenskyy appealed, “We have artillery, yes. Thank you. We have it. Is it enough? Honestly, not really. To ensure Bakhmut is not just a stronghold that holds back the Russian army, but for the Russian army to completely pull out, more cannons and shells are needed.”
If the spending package passes, US aid to Ukraine will total over $100 billion.
Do you support increasing military and foreign aid to Ukraine, or should the US pull back its funding?
