US President Joe Biden has reportedly instructed Secretary of State Antony Blinken to release around the $350 million in immediate support to Ukraine's security and defence, said White House reportedly in a new memo on Friday (local time). The latest aid by the US for Ukraine is the third drawdown of money. Earlier assistance included $60 million and $250 million taking the total order over a billion dollars, as per the CNN.
Apart from denying sending troops to Ukraine, US also offered Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to flee Kyiv as Russian forces inch closer to the city. However, that offer was rejected by Zelensky who instead called for ammunition and ‘not a ride’.
