The Hill: Biden signs bill to expedite military aid to Ukraine 

President Biden on Monday signed legislation that will make it easier for the U.S. to send military equipment to Ukraine as the Eastern European country battles the ongoing Russian invasion. 

Biden signed the bill in the Oval Office at a ceremony with Vice President Harris and members of Congress. The bill, formally known as the Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act of 2022, passed Congress with bipartisan support last month. 

Biden affirmed U.S. support for the Ukrainians “in their fight to defend their country and their democracy against [Russian President Vladimir] Putin’s brutal war.”
