The U.S. will provide Ukraine with 200 million dollars in additional military aid

While U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken is in Ukraine, the Joe Biden administration said Wednesday that it will give the country an additional $200 million in defensive military aid amid growing fears of a possible Russian invasion.

The aid was approved in late December as part of a U.S. effort to help Ukraine defend itself.

The announcement came amid a visit by Secretary Blinken to Kiev. Until Wednesday, however, the administration declined to comment on the matter.
