KEY POINTS

#President Joe Biden signed a funding bill to keep the government running through September and send $13.6 billion in aid to Ukraine.

#The money for Ukraine will go both to helping refugees fleeing Russia's invasion and to defensive equipment and training for the country's military.

#Biden is set to travel to Brussels next month for a summit among NATO leaders.


President Joe Biden on Tuesday signed a $1.5 trillion bill that funds federal operations through September and sends billions of dollars in aid to Ukraine as the country fights off a Russian invasion.

Washington had to approve a spending plan by the end of the day to prevent a government shutdown.

The bill includes $13.6 billion for assistance to Ukraine, which fits into a broader U.S. effort to bolster Ukrainian defense, hamper Russia's economy and support civilians displaced by the war. The money will fund defensive military equipment and training, along with aid for Ukrainian refugees both within the country and in neighboring nations.

"We're moving further to augment support to the brave people of Ukraine as they defend their country," Biden said Tuesday before he signed the bill. He added that the U.S. will be "better positioned to provide for the rapidly growing humanitarian need of the Ukrainian people."

Biden signed the bill shortly after the White House announced he would travel to Brussels this month for an extraordinary summit about Russia's attack on Ukraine. He also approved the funding hours before Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's planned address to the U.S. Congress on Wednesday morning.

While the bill includes critical funding for U.S. efforts in Ukraine, it also stamps out some risks in the U.S. for now. The federal government will avoid a shutdown, which can damage the economy and put many federal employees out of work temporarily.

The bill provides enough money to cover federal spending through the end of the fiscal year Sept. 30 after Congress passed multiple stopgap plans to keep the lights on in recent months.

Russia is not a super power.... the Russian Forces are overrated, overhyped and outdated. Ordinary Ukraine Forces are beating them black and blue.
