I am grateful to US President Joseph Biden, the US Congress and both parties, Republicans and Democrats, and the entire American people for today's announcement of significant defense assistance to Ukraine totaling $7.9 billion and the imposition of sanctions against Russia.
The President of Ukraine also thanked the United States for finding a way to allocate the balance of previously approved funds (approximately $5.9 billion) before the end of the fiscal year, so that the presidential powers would remain in force.
