• Hours after President Joe Biden referred to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as genocide for the first time, two U.S. officials told Reuters the White House is set to authorize another $750 million in military assistance for Ukraine, the latest disbursement of aid from the $14 billion pool Congress authorized last month. The package—which could be formally announced later today—is expected to include drones, howitzers, and equipment to protect against chemical attacks.
