Biden unveils new Ukraine weapons package
But today marks one year since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the war has left hundreds of thousands dead and millions of Ukrainians displaced. President Biden met virtually with Ukraine's president and other world leaders on how to hold the Kremlin responsible. Our D.C. Bureau Chief Ben Kennedy is live in Washington, D.C. with a somber anniversary.
Ben. Calvin Ecclesiast, one-year anniversary, Ukraine has defined St. Victor is inevitable. In the meantime, we're now hearing from the Committee on the Chief about concerns China is considering giving military aid to Russia. President Biden left the White House Friday night facing questions on Ukraine marking one year since Russia invaded its country. Are you worried that China will side with Russia in this war? There's no evidence to that so far. His remarks come after announcing new sanctions against the Kremlin, targeting Moscow's defense and energy sectors.
Russian banks ate more than 200 people, which the National Security Council's senior director for Europe told Local 10, will. Russia's war machine has claimed tens of thousands of lives and millions displaced. Ukraine's President Zelensky says it's been a year of pain. In response, the U.S. locked down an additional 2 billion in military aid. It includes artillery, military drones and even funding for training.
South Florida Representative Friedrich Wilson tweeted, we will remain committed to providing them with the support they need to keep Ukraine free. The more and the longer you will keep attacking Ukraine, the more resolve we will have. And at this point, Russia has made no signs of ending this war as it now enters into year two. Reporting live in Washington, D.C. Ben Kennedy, Local 10 News. Just heartbreaking.
Thanks a lot, Ben.
