The White House on Friday requested more than $105 billion from Congress for "national security priorities," including $61 billion for Ukraine.
U.S. President Joe Biden on Thursday made a rare White House speech in which he called the funding for military and humanitarian aid to support both Ukraine and Israel "urgent."
Biden said both Hamas and Russia "want to annihilate a neighboring democracy."
The White House said in a statement that previous commitments to Ukraine were running out, and that the additional funding would provide additional weapons and equipment, continued military, intelligence, and other defense support, and economic and civilian security assistance.
The U.S. this week confirmed it had supplied Kyiv with long-range ATACMS (Army Tactical Missile Systems) missiles, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that his forces had used them in action.
Meanwhile, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has resolved to "faithfully implement" agreements made with Russian President Vladimir Putin at a summit last month, state media KCNA reported Friday.
Kim is hosting Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov one month after his rare visit to Russia, and KCNA reported that the two discussed a "stable, forward-looking, far-reaching plan for the DPRK-Russia relations in the new era," according to a translation.
Lavrov's trip to Pyongyang comes hot on the heels of Putin's visit to China this week, during which the Russian president said Washington's decision to supply ATACMS missiles to Ukraine was "a mistake."
