Western Support for Ukraine

Recent weeks have seen significant announcements of Western support for Ukraine, including a $61 supplemental aid package approved by Congress. This aid package contributed to stabilizing the situation in Ukraine after Russia's attacks on the energy grid. The arrival of new U.S. equipment and ammunition boosted Ukraine's ability to stabilize the front lines, leading to key international events such as the G7 summit.
