US President Joe Biden may allocate an additional $250 million in weapons to Ukraine, and for the supplies to be expanded, Congress needs to approve further funding. This was announced by White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki, as reported by РИА Новости.

“As you know, we have allocated $3.5 billion for military assistance. We have $250 million remaining from that... It is clear that we will work to expedite its transfer to the Ukrainians... there is an urgent need to move forward on this funding issue, so that we can help them with artillery, equipment...,” she stated.
