WASHINGTON -- US President Joe Biden said Wednesday his administration will provide Ukraine with an additional 800 million US dollars' worth of military aid due to what Washington anticipated to be a "wider assault" by Russia in eastern Ukraine.
"As Russia prepares to intensify its attack in the Donbas region, the United States will continue to provide Ukraine with the capabilities to defend itself," Biden said in a statement after a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
