U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warns that Russia will be successful in Ukraine without continued support from the United States. President Joe Biden requests $106 billion to fund plans for Ukraine, Israel, and U.S. border security. Biden seeks $61.4 billion for Ukraine, with half of it being spent in the United States to replenish weapons stocks. The funding plan's future is uncertain.
Renaming Cornwallis Street in Nora Bernard 's name | SaltWireWASHINGTON - U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said on Tuesday that Russia would be successful in Ukraine unless the United States kept up its support for Kyiv.
"I can guarantee that without our support Putin will be successful," Austin said during the hearing. Arguing that supporting U.S. partners is vital to national security, Biden requested $61.4 billion for Ukraine, about half of which would be spent in the United States to replenish weapons stocks drained by previous support.
The path forward for Biden's latest funding plan looks uncertain. Democrats solidly back Biden's strategy of combining Ukraine aid with support for Israel, as do many Republicans in both the Senate and House of Representatives.
