At her daily briefing yesterday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki confirmed that Joe Biden would submit his request for another Ukraine aid package this week.
Psaki would not provide any details on the topline cost of the aid package, but it is expected to be significant.
The extra funding is intended to last for the next five months, through the end of the fiscal year, [two] sources said.
Administration officials earlier described the amount of the request as ‘massive’ but would not provide a specific dollar amount. Some details were still not finalized, the officials said.
