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.
