President Joe Biden has formally requested $24 billion in additional funding for Ukraine in a last-ditch ask of Congress. The request comes as part of ongoing U.S. support for Ukraine amid its conflict with Russia. Reports suggest this request was made just weeks before the anticipated transition of power to President-elect Donald Trump. The funding proposal has sparked significant debate, with critics questioning the timing and necessity of the allocation, particularly as public opinion polls indicate a divided stance on continued financial support for Ukraine.
