Senators Press Dept Of Defense On Ukraine Aid
3 days ago
A bipartisan group of senators is urging the Defense Department to release roughly $600 million in security assistance for Ukraine and key U.S. allies in Eastern Europe.
In a letter sent to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, lawmakers questioned delays involving funding that Congress approved last year.
The package includes about $400 million designated for Ukraine, along with another $200 million for defense and security programs in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
The push reflects growing frustration among members of Congress as lawmakers seek answers from the Trump administration about the status of military aid and broader regional security efforts.
