This brings the total US economic and military aid that has been sent to the war-torn country to $200 billion in the last twelve months.
Yellen asserted that a ten billion dollar investment in economic aid for Ukraine will likely occur in the upcoming months. She went on to explain, "Providing economic assistance has made Ukraine's resistance possible by supporting the home front, funding critical public services, and helping keep the government running.
"Putin himself thought he would achieve a victory at minimal cost... One year later, Putin's war has been a strategic failure for the Kremlin. Ukraine still stands," Yellen added.

On his journey to Kyiv, Biden reassured Zelensky that the US is fully committed to them. Biden had earlier declared that he will support Ukraine "as long as it takes." He had promised not to provide F-16 fighter jets, yet about a year ago, he had also proclaimed not to send Abrams tanks, explaining that it could spark the commencement of World War III, and now it appears those are on their way.
In his speech, Biden said, "One year later, Kyiv stands and Ukraine stands. Democracy stands. The Americans stand with you and the world stands with you."
