The United States would spend $6.9 billion to help Ukraine fend off Russia’s ongoing invasion and support NATO member countries under a budget proposal President Joe Biden’s administration released Monday, March 28.

The funds would represent Washington’s latest allocation of defense aid after Russia’s shock invasion of its neighbor last month, and would be used to “enhance the capabilities and readiness of US forces, NATO allies, and regional partners in the face of Russian aggression,” the White House said.
