According to her, the administration is also working with Congress to allocate $10 billion in budgetary support to Ukraine.
The Joe Biden administration is also working with Congress to approve another $10 billion in direct budgetary aid to Kiev and is expected to announce another major military aid package next week, as well as further sanctions against the Kremlin around this the same time,” the publication writes.
As the anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine approaches, U.S. officials told Ukrainian leaders they are facing a critical moment to change the trajectory of the war, increasing pressure on Kiev to make significant gains on the battlefield while arms and aid from the United States and its allies are growing.

Many conservatives in the Republican-led House of Representatives have vowed to withdraw support, and Europe’s long-term appetite for war funding remains unclear.
Several officials noted the strong bipartisan support that accompanied each Ukraine package, adding that Congress gave the White House more than it asked for, but they acknowledged it was under Democratic leadership in the House and Senate.
“We will continue to try to convince them that we can’t do anything and everything forever,” said a senior administration official.
The administration “feels very strongly” that it will be difficult to continue to receive the same level of security and economic assistance from Congress, he said.
