U.S. Commits $2 Billion More in Aid to Ukraine

“The Pentagon announced a new package of long-term security assistance for Ukraine on Friday, marking the first anniversary of Russia’s invasion with a $2 billion commitment to send more rounds of ammunition and a variety of small, high-tech drones into the fight,” the AP reports.

Yes, there’s a sense among folks in the White House and Capitol Hill that it’s mostly bluster, at least for now, but the question continues to take on a partisan flavor.”
