White House asks Congress for $6.4 billion to help Ukraine

The White House asked Congress on Friday to provide $6.4 billion to help Ukraine in its fight against Russia’s invasion, according to multiple reports.

The money would be split, with $3.5 billion going to the Pentagon and $2.9 billion shared between security assistance, humanitarian aid, economic stabilization needs, and regional efforts, an administration official told Axios. Additionally, a portion of the $2.9 billion would be set aside to aid Ukraine’s neighboring countries.
