Biden announces new aid package during Zelensky meeting

After visits to the White House, the Pentagon and Congress, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ended his day in Washington with an emotional speech at the National Archive on Thursday evening, thanking Americans for supporting his country in its war with Russia. The speech came after President Biden and first lady Jill Biden welcomed Zelensky for the Ukrainian leader’s third visit to the White House. The Biden administration is seeking approval from Congress for an additional $24 billion in aid to Ukraine, but it announced that the United States would send “more artillery, more ammunition or antitank weapons” to the country. And next week, the first U.S. Abrams tanks will be delivered to Ukraine.
