WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is asking Congress to provide more than $37 billion in emergency aid to Ukraine, a massive infusion of cash that could help support the nation as Russian forces suffer battlefield losses in their nine-month-old invasion.
The administration’s funding request, which comes as lawmakers begin their post-election session, also seeks $9.25 billion in COVID-19 funding to prepare for a possible winter surge and help combat the virus nationwide. Government funding expires in mid-December, and the Ukraine and COVID aid would be part of the package to fund the government through the end of September 2023.
The request for such a sizable amount of money for Ukraine comes as the GOP is poised to take control of the House following the midterm elections.

Of course he did
pure, open money laundering
Hey, a billion here, a billion there, pretty soon you’re talking real money here.
For another country.
So we are paying for the war in Ukraine. Who’s pockets is all that money going to end up in?
Well at least the crusty codger is lumping all of the money laundering scams in together now.
Has there been an auditing to where this money goes? has any Congressperson stood up and asked this?
2024 isn’t rig itself...
I think he is getting more than 10%; but even at 10%, it is more than most of us make in a lifetime.
Support for Ukraine is what the White House spokesperon said was the #2 objective for the lame duck Congress. We have given $18 billion of the $52 billion appropriated so far. So an additional $47 billion will bring the appropriations up to $47+52-18 = $81 billion more that the US can provide before needing more appropriates from the new Congress.
Arizona, Nevada, PennsylTucky and Georgia, for starters.
just say no to crack
$37 billion here, $37 billion there, and pretty soon you are talking about real money.
The FTX exchange for Dim campaign funds.
Biden is no Charlie Wilson.
Totally understandable. I mean after the crypto cuts for Biden, the DNC & the GOP the amount Ukraine actually gets is......let see.....about $12.
NO. HELL, NO.
Ten percent for the big guy.
Wonder how much McConnell will get once the money is divvied up to the various politicians.
