Biden Asks For More Than $37 Billion In Aid For Ukraine

U.S. President Joe Biden is asking Congress to provide more than $37 billion in emergency aid to Ukraine, a massive infusion of cash that could help support the nation as Russian forces suffer battlefield losses in their nearly 9-month-old invasion. The administration formally requested the funds on November 15. The request also seeks $9.25 billion in COVID-19 funding to prepare for a possible winter surge and help combat the virus nationwide. Government funding expires in mid-December, and the aid requested would be part of the package to fund the government through the end of September 2023. To read the original story from AP, click here.
