Washington plans to allocate additional funds to Kyiv and has applied to the US Parliament for this purpose.
The White House on Tuesday, November 15, asked Congress to allocate $37.7 billion in additional aid to Ukraine in the fight against Russian aggression. This was reported by The Hill, citing the comments of a Biden administration official.
The presidential administration is asking Congress to approve $21.7 billion in defense aid to supply Ukraine with military equipment. In addition, he is asking for $14.5 billion in direct budget support for Ukraine, media reports.
In addition, $626 million will support Ukraine’s nuclear security and upgrade the Strategic Oil Reserve to reduce domestic energy costs and ensure stable access to energy resources. Another $900 million will go to help Ukrainians with health care and support.
The new funding is aimed at ensuring Ukraine has “the funding, weapons and support it needs to defend itself,” a White House spokesman said.
It will be remembered that the media previously said that the US administration and military leadership are studying the possibility of transferring modified modern Gray Eagle drones to Ukraine.
As you know, on November 4, the United States announced military aid to Ukraine for 400 million US dollars.
