The heads of the U.S. Treasury, Defense and State Departments called on Congress to fund $11.8 billion in Ukraine aid as part of President Joe Biden's supplemental spending request, according to a letter released on Tuesday.
"This funding benefits from an unprecedented level of robust oversight and transparency, and is bolstered by significant budget support from the European Union, other G7 partners, and the International Monetary Fund," the secretaries, along with the USAID administrator, wrote to congressional leaders.
"Ukraine’s success advances U.S. national security and demonstrates the resolve of the U.S and its partners to defend the territorial sovereignty and fundamental freedoms of democratic countries against authoritarian aggression."
