President Biden signed a $95 billion war aid measure to provide military assistance to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, including provisions to force the sale or ban of the social media platform TikTok in the U.S. The bill’s passage marks the end of a months-long battle with Republicans over urgently needed aid for Ukraine. The bill includes $61 billion specifically allocated for Ukraine, including air defense capabilities, artillery rounds, and armored vehicles to bolster Ukrainian forces suffering from dwindling morale due to Russian advancements. Despite the aid, experts caution that Ukraine faces an uphill battle with months of setbacks, while Russia focuses on capturing Kharkiv. The signing comes after months of negotiations between the White House and House Speaker Mike Johnson, who faced threats from far-right Republicans against the funding. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell warned that the delay in providing aid could impact Ukraine’s ability to win the war, while former President Donald Trump has shifted his stance to acknowledge the importance of supporting Ukraine. The aid is seen as crucial in preventing further Russian aggression and strengthening NATO’s defense capabilities.

President Biden has signed into law a $95 billion war aid measure that includes assistance for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.

A substantial US$61 billion military aid package from the US is providing vital support to Ukraine in its ongoing conflict with Russia. The arms and ammunition provided by the package are enabling Ukraine to slow Russian advances and protect its troops and civilians. While the aid buys Ukraine time for long-term planning, the road to victory remains arduous. Russia continues to push along the front lines, and Ukraine faces logistical challenges and bureaucratic delays in receiving shipments. The package authorizes the potential delivery of ATACMS missiles, but their availability remains uncertain. Ukraine still lacks longer-range missiles capable of cutting off occupied Crimea and targeting Russia’s Black Sea fleet. Despite the challenges, Ukraine aims to regain all its territory, including Crimea, and hopes that increased aid will strengthen its position for future negotiations.

The recently approved $61 billion US military aid package for Ukraine aims to bolster its defenses and prolong its fight against Russia. The aid includes weapons and ammunition that will help slow Russian advances, protect civilians, and provide time for Ukraine to plan future strategies. However, logistical challenges and bureaucracy may delay the delivery of the aid, and its ultimate impact on the battlefield remains uncertain.

The package is expected to be quickly signed into law by President Biden, who has been urging Congress to approve the funding.
