U.S. President Joe Biden assured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of swift additional arms support once Congress approves the related funding. Biden emphasized providing significant security assistance to address Ukraine’s urgent battlefield and air defense needs once the Senate passes a $61 billion aid bill, expected to be included in a broader national security funding package. Additionally, Biden highlighted ongoing economic assistance to bolster financial stability, infrastructure, and support for reforms aligning with Ukraine’s Euro-Atlantic integration goals. Zelenskyy welcomed the aid, anticipating enhancements to Ukraine’s air defense and artillery capabilities.
