President Joe Biden said Thursday the US will send an additional $800 million in
military assistance to Ukraine as Russia's war enters what he called a "critical
window," but warned congressional action is necessary for further shipments as
the war grinds on.

The speech was Biden's first public event dedicated to the war in weeks, and
came just before he departed Washington for a two-day swing in the Pacific
Northwest. While the issue has consumed his schedule, Biden's advisers have
hoped to pivot to domestic issues, like rising costs and gas prices.

Still, Biden made clear neither he nor his allied partners would yield in their
attempts to punish Moscow and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"Putin is banking on us losing interest," Biden said. "Once again, we're going
to prove him wrong."

In his speech, Biden sought to project momentum in Ukraine's battle, saying
Putin would "never succeed in dominating and occupying all of Ukraine."

Still, his pending request to Congress for additional funding was a signal he
does not believe the conflict will end in the near-term. And an administration
announcement it would accept tens of thousands of Ukrainian refugees on
humanitarian grounds was a sign the White House was planning for the future
consequences of Russia's war.

Biden announced the new shipments -- which includes heavy artillery and 144,000
rounds of ammunition -- in a speech from the White House meant to update
Americans on the state of the conflict, which is nearing its second month and
entering what US officials have said could be a bloody new phase. He also said
Russian ships would be banned from American ports.

Biden said Russia has "refocused" its campaign to seize new territory in eastern
Ukraine, making the flow of western military aid essential.

"We're in a critical window now of time where they're ... going to set the stage
for the next phase of this war," Biden said of the Russian military plans. "The
United States and our allies and partners are moving as fast as possible to
continue to provide Ukraine ... the weapons they need, the equipment they need,
that their forces need to defend their nation."



The new military aid package the President announced comes in at roughly $800
million following a similarly sized measure earlier this month. If approved, the
latest package would mean the US has committed approximately $3.4 billion
dollars in assistance to Ukraine since Russia's invasion began on February 24.

This would be the last presidential drawdown until Congress approves more money
for weapons to Ukraine. In a presidential drawdown, the Defense Department pulls
weapons and equipment from US inventories to send to Ukraine instead of
purchasing new weapons from manufacturers.

Biden said he will make a formal request next week for Congress to approve a
second supplemental funding package to aid Ukraine, adding that he expected
Congress to "move and act quickly" on the package.

"In order to sustain Ukraine for the duration of this fight, next week I'm going
to have to be sending to Congress a supplemental budget request to keep weapons
and ammunition flowing without interruption to the brave Ukrainian fighters and
continue to deliver economic assistance to the Ukrainian people," Biden said.

Speaking about the importance of getting aid to Ukraine, Biden paraphrased a
famous quote from former President Theodore Roosevelt, telling reporters:
"Sometimes we will speak softly and carry a large Javelin, because we're sending
a lot of those in as well." He was referring to an anti-tank missile the US has
provided to the Ukrainian military.



In his speech from the White House, Biden updated Americans on US efforts to
support the people of Ukraine along with unveiling the new assistance package,
which has been finalized in recent days. Earlier in the day, Biden's national
security adviser Jake Sullivan met with Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal
and the President stopped by.

"We had a good discussion," Biden said.

President Joe Biden tweeted this photo from the White House on Thursday, April
21. I met with Prime Minister Shmyhal of Ukraine this morning to convey our
continued commitment to support Ukraine in the face of Russia brutal war of
aggression, Biden wrote.

Biden also announced the US is banning Russian-affiliated ships from American
ports. While Russian ship traffic makes for a relatively small percentage of
overall port activity in the US, the move is in line with a ban on Russian
aircraft in US airspace the Biden administration previously announced.

"No ship that sailed under the Russian flag, or that is owned or operated by
Russian interests, will be allowed to dock in the United States port or access
our shores," Biden said.

He said it was "another critical step" the US was taking alongside its allies in
Canada and Europe "to deny Russia the benefits of international economic system
that they so enjoyed in the past."

The latest package would come a week after the Biden administration authorized
another $800 million security package, which included artillery and
anti-artillery radars for the first time since the Russian invasion began.

The Biden administration is working to get the military assistance to Ukraine as
quickly as possible because it believes the war is at a critical stage and the
continued US assistance could make a difference when Russia's more aggressive
assault on eastern Ukraine ramps up.

The more open terrain in that region favors the use of artillery and long-range
systems, which is why the administration has placed a premium on getting those
types of systems in quickly as the fighting moves away from Kyiv and into the
Donbas region.
Biden discussed additional western assistance to Ukraine with fellow world
leaders in a secure video call Monday, where he also voiced a need to provide
additional ammunition to Ukraine. Other countries, including Canada and the
Netherlands, have announced their own shipments of arms to Ukraine this week.

Meeting his top military officials at the White House on Wednesday, Biden touted
the steady flow of American assistance into Ukraine as the war grinds on.

"Weapons and ammunition are flowing in daily, and we're seeing just how vital
our alliances and partnerships are around the world," Biden told Defense
Secretary Lloyd Austin, Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks, the Joint
Chiefs of Staff and US Combatant Commanders at a meeting in the Cabinet Room.

Biden said the US force posture has to be "dynamic" as the strategic environment
abroad is "evolving rapidly."
"We're seeing this very day the need for adaptation as a consequence of us
standing with Ukraine against Putin's brutal and unjustified war. And I want to
applaud the exceptional work you're doing to arm and equip brave Ukrainians to
defend their nation," he said.

Biden announces $800M in new military assistance for Ukraine


President Joe Biden is set to announce plans to send an additional $800 million
in military aid to help Ukraine fight back against the Russian invasion,
according to a White House official.

The official, who was not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on the
condition of anonymity, said Biden would use a Thursday morning speech at the
White House to detail plans to build on the roughly $2.6 billion in military
assistance that his administration has already approved for Ukraine.

The new package is expected to include much needed heavy artillery and
ammunition for Ukrainian forces in the escalating battle for the Donbas region
of eastern Ukraine. Biden was to speak on the new assistance, and more broadly
about the situation in Ukraine, hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin
claimed victory in the strategic city of Mariupol.

Putin, however, ordered his troops not to risk more losses by storming the last
pocket of Ukrainian resistance in the war’s iconic battleground. Russian forces
have destroyed much of southeastern port city, which has witnessed some of the
fiercest fighting of the war.

By Russian estimates, about 2,000 Ukrainian forces remain holed up in a
sprawling steel plant, even as Russian forces continue to pound the industrial
site and repeatedly issue ultimatums for Ukrainian forces' surrender. Russian
troops have besieged the port city since the early days of the conflict and
largely reduced it to ruins.
