Biden administration has sent another arms package on Friday to bolster Ukraine’s defense
US President Joe Biden on Monday signed a bill to streamline the lengthy process of supplying military equipment to Ukraine needed for the war against Russia.
“I’m signing a bill that provides another important tool that directly supports the government of Ukraine and the Ukrainian people and their fight to defend their country and their democracy against Putin’s brutal war,” Biden said from the Oval Office.
“The cost of the fight is not cheap, but caving to aggression is even more costly,” he added.
