President Joe Biden has requested an additional $24 billion from Congress to support Ukraine, which includes $16 billion to replenish U.S. weapons stocks and $8 billion allocated for the U.S. Army Industrial Base to manufacture weapons for Ukraine. This request comes as the total amount of U.S. military aid to Ukraine during the Biden administration has surpassed $62 billion, according to Pentagon calculations. The aid package reflects ongoing U.S. support for Ukraine in its conflict with Russia, a commitment that may change with the anticipated return of Donald Trump to the presidency.
