Lawmakers are close to finalizing a deal for almost $14 billion in
emergency military and humanitarian aid for Ukraine as the
country battles a Russian invasion more than double the initial
request from the White House as they scramble to finish a
sprawling catchall spending package before government funding
lapses on Friday
The White House initially asked for $64 billion for Ukraine but
quickly increased the amount to $10 billion as Russian forces
continued to bomb the country and millions of refugees fled In that
request the administration proposed economic and humanitarian
assistance for Ukrainians money to enforce some of the economic
penalties imposed by the Biden administration and nearly $5
billion in additional funds for the Pentagon
But as of Tuesday lawmakers were coalescing around a $136
billion package according to lawmakers and aides familiar with the
negotiations just days after an emotional virtual meeting with
President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine who pleaded for more
assistance and additional weapons Details of the spending had yet
to be unveiled as of Tuesday evening
