President Joe Biden on Thursday asked Congress to approve a $33 billion assistance package for Ukraine.
It would increase by eight times the support the Biden administration has given Kyiv since the war began in February. Nearly two-thirds of the $33 billion will take the form of military assistance. Kyiv can expect additional deliveries of artillery units, armored vehicles, air defense systems, and anti-armor weapons. The administration is also proposing changes to U.S. law that would not only make it easier to seize the assets of Russian oligarchs, but to liquidate those assets and use the profits to assist Ukraine.
