U.S. President Joe Biden delivers remarks on arming Ukraine in May 2022.

The White House said it plans to release one additional package of military aid for Ukraine before the end of the year but said it would then have to "replenish authority available to us" and that "we need Congress to act without delay" on further funding. President Joe Biden is seeking to persuade lawmakers -- mainly Republicans -- to overcome reluctance to authorize further aid in the form of an emergency funding request of $100 billion for border security, Israel, and Ukraine. Some $61 billion covers Ukraine. The amount of the planned next aid package for Ukraine was not disclosed.
