Watch Live: Biden To Announce Additional Ukraine Aid

President Biden is expected to announce an additional $800 million in military aid for Ukraine, which would bring the total US support up to $1 billion in the last week alone, and more than $2 billion since Biden took office, according to USA Today.

Biden’s speech comes hours after Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky received a standing ovation for a short virtual speech to members of Congress, in which he pleaded for the US to establish a no-fly zone.

The $800 million will mean more than $2 billion in U.S. aid has gone to Ukraine since Biden entered office. The money has paid for an assortment of military equipment including 600 Stinger anti-aircraft systems, 2,600 Javelin anti-armor systems, nearly 40 million rounds of small arms ammunition, 200 grenade launchers and ammunition, 200 shotguns and 200 machine guns, according to the White House.

Hours earlier, Zelensky invoked 9/11, MLK, and Pearl Harbor in an emotional plea to the West to do more to stop the Russian invasion.

“I am addressing President Biden, you are the leader of the nation, your nation. I wish you to be the leader of the world. Being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace,” Zelensky said. “Right now, the destiny of our country is being decided, the destiny of our people.”

“I call on you to do more,” he added.
