'Final insult': Biden admin signs off on $5.9 billion more for Ukraine

President Joe Biden approved $2.5 billion in "security assistance" while Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen simultaneously issued another $3.4 billion in "direct budget support" for Ukraine on Monday. In total, the Biden administration greenlit nearly $6 billion in Ukraine aid in just one day. Since Russia invaded in February 2022, Ukraine has received over $175 billion in aid from the Biden administration, with the president vowing to continue to "work relentlessly" to "strengthen" Ukraine through the remainder of his term.

"Economic assistance from the United States and our allies is crucial for Ukraine’s ability to defend its sovereignty and achieve a just peace by maintaining the critical government services that underpin its brave fight," Yellen said in a Monday statement.

Fibis I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
