Ukraine will get most of the assistance as it struggles to combat Russia's overwhelming firepower. The bill also includes more weapons for Israel, and humanitarian help for Gaza.President Biden on Wednesday announces the signing of a $95 billion military assistance package for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. Ukraine says the aid is critical as it seeks to regain momentum on the battlefield from Russia.
"We're going to immediately secure that aid and surge it," Biden said."Israel must make sure all this aid reaches the Palestinians in Gaza — without delay."Hard-line Republicans in the House had been blocking the measure since it was proposed by Biden last fall. But the House approved the measure overwhelmingly on Saturday, followed by a similarly lopsided vote in the Senate on Tuesday.
Ukrainian military officers have spoken about Russian artillery rounds outnumbering Ukrainian fire by up to 10-to-1. They say Ukraine has had to ration shells, and in some cases, ran out of ammunition and had to retreat. This has allowed the Russians to be on the offensive in recent months, though the battlefield gains have been minimal.
The Ukrainians shot down the first seven incoming missiles, he said, but then ran out of weapons. The final four Russian missiles hit the plant and caused power outages. Britain has sent a similar missile, the Storm Shadow, which has been credited with hitting Russian bases and ships far behind the front-lines.
"Putin has a real vulnerability in Crimea and southern Ukraine," he said."He needs to keep his troops supplied there. Ukraine can make that supply route much less efficient and thereby hinder Russian military operations."
