WASHINGTON, March 3 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden's administration is seeking $32.5 billion in additional funding from Congress to aid Ukraine and bolster the U.S. COVID response, U.S. media reports said on Thursday.
The White House is seeking $10 billion to help train Ukraine's military, protect its electrical grid, boost its cyberdefenses and enforce sanctions, the Washington Post reported, citing two people familiar with the matter.
Another $22.5 billion would go toward shoring up the nations pandemic response as part of the nation's shift toward managing COVID-19 long-term and preparing for any potential new variants and spikes in cases, the Post said, also citing a letter from the U.S. Office of Management and Budget sent to U.S. lawmakers it had obtained.
The White House will officially ask Congress for the emergency funding later on Thursday, it added. The Punchbowl News media outlet also reported on the planned funding request.

COVID is OVER...but government lackeys continue to use it as a revenue source. Where’s the Flu?
The Democrat way - create the problem, then throw money at it.
Wrong thread.
"The United States has provided over $1.4 billion in assistance to Ukraine since 2021, and, together with our European allies and partners, we are holding Russia accountable for its unjustified and unprovoked invasion,"
Thanks to Trump. No thanks to Obama/Biden.
"To continue this important work and further support the Ukrainian people, we are requesting $10 billion to deliver additional humanitarian, security, and economic assistance in Ukraine and the neighboring region in the coming days and weeks."
Weapons??? Are we providing blankets again? Maybe that's what is meant by "security" but I doubt it.
And the border?
What happen to the billions of unspent COVID money , some of it from the Trump Admin
Why does Joe bother Congress, just borrow the money from Hunter?
GRRRRR! See what you get when you follow the globalists and their non-stop propaganda that we must do anything for Ukraine? Screw the US citizens!
Now we know why Soros, the Democrats, the MSM, the celebrities, and the rest of the establishment is pushing this on us so hard. The money spigots are about to opened and they are about to get richer.
Why does he need emergency funds now for Covid? And, logistically, how will he train Ukraine military now? Teach them the important things like pronouns?
Fitting for this thread.
More slush fund money COVID aid is a the greatest money laundering gift they could ever hoped for.
No!
#32 Billion to “...bolster the U.S. COVID response”?
It’s 99% over.
Go on a fiscal diet, Sock Puppet Bidet&Co!
Covid? Haven’t even used all of the money from the previous bills and had so much left over they starting funding crack smoking kits with it.
You didn’t hear? Our token idiot SECDEF says we’ll train them remotely, via computer. During a war.
Will the Ukraine Government kick back 10% to “the Big Guy”?
Wait, don’t tell me...
For the children?
It’s an enormous sum but it pales in comparison to the $5 TRILLION we spent shutting down the country for no apparent gain.
He should start with returning all of the Hunter Biden and other democratic kickback money obtained from Ukraine.
ALL OF IT.
