Congress is preparing a $39.8 billion funding package to maintain U.S. support for Ukraine, the latest round of funding in a bipartisan effort meant to help the country repel Russia's invasion without committing U.S. troops to fight in the deadly war.
The package is nearly $7 billion more than what President Joe Biden has formally requested to supplement the roughly $13.6 billion Congress approved for the war in March. Experts say that breaks down to roughly $100 million per day in funding for a range of help, from food aid and refugee assistance to counter-propaganda efforts and military equipment.
