U.S. President Joe Biden on Wednesday signed a bill into law that provides billions of dollars of additional aid to Ukraine to help it repel Russia's onslaught.
The overall package, which includes aid for Israel and Taiwan is worth $95 billion, is a lifeline for Ukraine, whose forces have been running short on artillery units and ammunition on parts of the front line. Kyiv has been pleading for more air defense systems and long-range missiles for months.
In other news, a Russian court on Wednesday formally arrested Deputy Defense Minister Timur Ivanov and charged him with bribery, following his detention Tuesday. The case marks one of the most high-profile corruption cases since Moscow invaded Ukraine in 2022.
