President Joe Biden’s administration announced on Dec. 21 that the United States is sending $1.8 billion in additional military aid to Ukraine, including, for the first time, a patriot air defense system.
The announcement came as Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, landed in Washington with plans to appeal to Biden and Congress not to stop giving aid to his country as it battles Russian forces in the 10th month of the war.
