Biden announces $500 million in new military aid to Ukraine

U.S. President Joe Biden made a surprise visit to Ukraine on Monday, just days before the one-year anniversary of Russia’s invasion.

Air raid sirens rang out across Ukraine as President Biden landed in Kyiv for five-hour visit to the war-torn country.

Concerns are mounting that Ukraine is burning through munitions faster than the West can supply it.

Biden used the trip to announce $500 million in new military aid to Ukraine including air defence radars, weapons, and artillery ammunition.

“When (Russian President Vladimir) Putin launched his invasion nearly one year ago, he thought Ukraine was weak and the West was divided. He thought he could outlast us. But he was dead wrong,” Biden said.

“The cost that Ukraine has had to pay is extraordinarily high. Sacrifices have been far too great…We know that there will be difficult days and weeks and years ahead.”

While the two leaders discussed numerous topics, Biden made no mention of donating western fighter jets at their joint press conference which Ukraine has been requesting.

SpaceX plans a $25 billion IPO in 2026, potentially valuing the company at over $1 trillion.


Elon Musk’s SpaceX is preparing to raise over $25 billion through an initial public offering in 2026. The move could value the space exploration company at over $1 trillion, fueled by its Starlink internet network and Starship rocket programme.

The IPO discussions are underway with major banks, targeting a launch around June or July. This comes as the IPO market experiences a revival after a three-year slowdown, attracting attention from both institutional and retail investors.

SpaceX is currently the second most-valuable private startup after OpenAI. While investors are excited, some remain cautious about Musk’s ability to manage multiple high-profile companies simultaneously.

Trump admin proposes tourists disclose social media profiles for security under visa waiver program, impacting 42 countries.


The Trump administration has proposed new rules requiring tourists visiting the United States under the visa waiver program to disclose their social media profiles. This applies to citizens from countries including Australia, the UK, and France, who would need to provide five years of social media history.

The requirement specifically targets travelers using the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA), which covers 42 countries. US Customs and Border Protection says the move is necessary to enhance national security.

Public comments on the proposal will be open for 60 days, and full implementation could take several months. It’s still unclear whether private messages would be included or if only public profiles are required.
