President Joe Biden is expected to approve an additional $60 million to help Ukraine fend off Russia on Wednesday after meeting with Ukrainian President Voldymyr Zelenskyy at the White House, a senior administration official said.
At the meeting, Biden is also expected to receive an update on Russian aggression in the region and to reaffirm the strong security partnership between the two countries after a turbulent 2019 in which former President Donald Trump pressured Zelenskyy to investigate Biden and his son, Hunter, leading to Trump’s first impeachment.
