White House warns it will run out of money for Ukraine unless Congress acts by end of year
The Biden administration is urging Congress to approve billions of dollars in military and economic assistance to Ukraine to support its defense against Russia's invasion.
Republicans in Congress have made funding for Ukraine politically controversial by demanding U.S.-Mexico border security changes as a condition for support.
The U.S. has already allocated $111 billion in assistance to Ukraine, but the funding is running out, and Ukraine's war effort may grind to a halt without further support.
In a very direct letter, Congress is warned that there will be no more money for Ukraine any time soon. The country's future could in the next few days be decided in Congress in Washington, D.C.
The Biden administration is sending an urgent warning to faction leaders in Congress: If they do not agree quickly on new Ukraine aid, Kiev will come out empty-handed in the new year. With fatal consequences.
