Biden to announce new military assistance for Ukraine

WASHINGTON, 22 April 2022, (TON): According to a US official “President Joe Biden is set to announce plans to send additional military aid to help Ukraine fight back against the Russian invasion.”

The official, who was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity, said Biden will deliver address at the White House detailing his plans to build on the roughly $2.6 billion in military assistance the administration has already approved for Ukraine.

The new package is expected to be similar in size to the $800 million package Biden announced last week.

It includes much needed heavy artillery and ammunition for Ukrainian forces in the escalating battle for the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine.

Earlier this week, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also said his country will send heavy artillery to Ukraine.

And Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that the Netherlands will send more heavy weapons, including armored vehicles.
